Halloween

Halloween, celebrated on October 31, has roots in ancient Celtic festivals, particularly Samhain, where people believed the boundary between the living and the dead blurred. Over time, it has evolved into a secular holiday marked by costumes, trick-or-treating, and various festivities. Children dress up in costumes ranging from spooky to silly and go door-to-door collecting candy. Halloween also features decorations like pumpkins, often carved into jack-o'-lanterns, and is associated with themes of ghosts and horror. Today, it combines traditions from different cultures and is widely celebrated in many countries, promoting community engagement and creativity.
