Hallows' Eve

Hallows' Eve, commonly known as Halloween, is observed on October 31st. It originates from ancient Celtic traditions, marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. Historically, it was believed that spirits wandered the Earth on this night, leading to practices like wearing costumes and lighting bonfires to ward off ghosts. Today, Halloween is celebrated with activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, and decorative displays, emphasizing fun and community. While rooted in historical and spiritual origins, modern celebrations are largely entertainment-focused, reflecting a mix of folklore, cultural customs, and festive creativity.
