What is Halloween?

Halloween is celebrated annually on October 31st, also known as All Hallows' Eve in the Christian world. Originally, Halloween was a pagan festival. The Celts celebrated New Year's Eve on October 31st and New Year's Day on November 1st. The Celtic New Year is also called Samhain and was a harvest festival because the harvest had just been brought in. After the Christianization of Europe, Samhain became a Christian holiday. In the 19th century, Irish and Scottish migrants brought the festival and traditions to America. Halloween is now a popular celebration with elements from the past. Halloween has a horror theme due to All Souls' Day: during this festival, people think of the wandering souls who have yet to reach heaven. The pumpkin is reminiscent of the harvest festival, and during All Souls' Day, a hollowed-out turnip with a candle inside was used to ward off evil spirits. The pumpkin is an American fruit, so the influence of migrants from the Celtic world is evident here. Nowadays, people go trick-or-treating in horror costumes, watch horror movies, or hold a costume party.
