Why do we celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is a holiday celebrated annually on October 31, which has its roots in ancient Celtic traditions. Today, Halloween is celebrated in many countries around the world, but especially in the United States it is a popular holiday.

Halloween traditions include wearing fancy dress, making pumpkin lanterns and collecting sweets from door to door. The celebration is based on beliefs and stories about communicating with the spirit world and the dead.

Halloween has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated to celebrate the autumn harvest and the beginning of winter. It was believed that precisely at the time of Samhain, the border between the spirit world and people was at its thinnest, and the souls of the dead could return to earth. Today, Halloween is celebrated more in the spirit of fun and entertainment, but the traditions of the celebration have been preserved as part of the holiday.
