Every year on October 31st, people around the world celebrate Halloween with pumpkins 🎃, costumes 👻, and candy 🍬. But do you know its origin? The holiday dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. People believed that during this time, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred 🌑. They would wear masks and costumes to ward off evil spirits 🕷️ and light bonfires 🎉 to guide lost souls.
As Christianity spread, the festival evolved into All Hallows' Eve, leading up to All Saints' Day 🙏. Over time, traditions like trick-or-treating 🐾 became popular in America, spreading worldwide. Today, Halloween is a time for fun, creativity, and community spirit 🎈. So grab your spooky outfit and enjoy the spooktacular celebrations! 👻✨
