๐ The Origin of Halloween ๐ (B1)
Halloween is a popular celebration. But do you know where it comes from?
Ancient Times ๐
A long time ago, there was a festival called 'Samhain' (pronounced 'sow-in'). The Celts, people from the British Isles, celebrated it.
Why Samhain? ๐
It was the end of summer and start of winter. The Celts believed that on this night, the dead visited the living.
Costumes and Masks ๐ญ
People wore costumes and masks. They wanted to look like spirits. This way, the real spirits would not bother them.
Christian Influence โช
Later, Christians celebrated 'All Saints' Day' on November 1st. The night before became 'All Hallows' Eve'. Now, we call it 'Halloween'.
๐ Modern Halloween ๐ฌ
Today, we dress up, go trick-or-treating, and have fun with friends. It's a mix of old and new traditions!
