All Hallows' Eve (Halloween)

All Hallows' Eve, or Halloween, is celebrated on October 31st and originated from ancient Celtic festivals marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. It’s associated with honoring saints (hallows) and remembering the deceased. Over time, it evolved into a festive occasion featuring activities like costume-wearing, trick-or-treating, and spooky decorations. These customs blend pagan, Christian, and modern influences, creating a playful and community-oriented event. Today, Halloween is primarily a fun festival emphasizing costumes, haunted themes, and candy, while also serving as a time to embrace creativity and community spirit.
