He origins of Halloween go back

very far, to the ancient Celts. The

Celts lived in the British Isles

during ancient times. They were

pagans. They believed in the gods

of nature.

There were two important festivals

on the Celtic calendar. One was

called Beltane . It marked the

beginning of summer. The other was

called Samhain. It marked the end

of summer, on October 31. Samhain

was also the last day of the years

on the Celtic calendar.

Samhain was the Celtic god of

death. the Celts were afraid of

winter . They associated it with

death and evil spirits.

The Druids were Celtic priests and

teachers.

they were very important in Celtic

society.

 Everyone respected them. They

practised magic and religious

rituals.

On October 31, the Druids

predicted the future. The Celtic

people dressed in scary costumes

to frighten the evil spirits. They

dressed as witches, ghosts and

skeletons. They also played

games to bring good luck in the

new year.
