Unraveling Halloween's Past: From Samhain to Modern Traditions

🎃 The Origin of Halloween 🎃 (B1)

Halloween is a popular celebration. But do you know where it comes from?

Ancient Times 🌙

A long time ago, there was a festival called 'Samhain' (pronounced 'sow-in'). The Celts, people from the British Isles, celebrated it.

Why Samhain? 🍂

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 🎭

People wore costumes and masks. They wanted to look like spirits. This way, the real spirits would not bother them.

Christian Influence ⛪

Later, Christians celebrated 'All Saints' Day' on November 1st. The night before became 'All Hallows' Eve'. Now, we call it 'Halloween'.

🎉 Modern Halloween 🍬

Today, we dress up, go trick-or-treating, and have fun with friends. It's a mix of old and new traditions!
