All Hallows’ Eve, commonly known as Halloween, is celebrated on October 31st. It is the evening before All Saints’ Day, a Christian holiday honoring saints and martyrs. All Hallows’ Eve has roots in ancient Celtic festivals, particularly Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest and the onset of winter.
It is believed that during this time, the boundary between the living and the dead becomes blurred, leading to customs like wearing costumes to ward off spirits. Modern Halloween is characterized by activities such as trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, and attending parties, blending both ancient and contemporary traditions.
