Origin of Halloween #didyouknow #halloween

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, held on October 31, when it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead blurred. With the Roman conquest, traditions merged, and after the establishment of All Saints’ Day by Pope Gregory III in the 8th century, October 31 became known as All Hallows’ Eve, evolving into Halloween. Brought to America by Irish immigrants in the 19th century, it transformed into a community celebration featuring trick-or-treating, costumes, and parties. Today, Halloween is a widely celebrated cultural event marked by festivities and commercialism. #Halloween #Samhain #AllHallowsEve #TrickOrTreat #CulturalCelebration #HistoryOfHalloween #HalloweenTraditions
