HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

Before Halloween: Celtic holiday  that marks the end of the  harvest season and the beginning of winter called Samhain.

HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

Samhain: The Celtic believed that, on that night, the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead would be at its thinnest. The bonfire and the animal costumes are meant to protect the people from evil spirits.

“The Christian church tried to eliminate the Druid celebration by offering All Saint's Day as a substitute. As Christianity spread over Europe and the British Isles, it attempted to replace the pre- existing pagan cult”
