Halloween is believed to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. The night before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later became known as Halloween.
Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on the night of October 31. The Celts believed that on this night, the spirits of the dead returned to earth. Over time, the holiday evolved and was influenced by various cultures, including Christian traditions and American folklore.
