Why Do We Celebrate Halloween?

Halloween traces its roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. During Samhain, people believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred, and spirits could roam the earth. To ward off these spirits, Celts wore costumes and lit bonfires. Over time, the festival blended with Christian traditions, evolving into All Hallows’ Eve and eventually, Halloween. Today, Halloween is a celebration of all things spooky and fun, bringing communities together for a night of laughter, fright, and sweet memories.
