What is the history of Halloween?

According to History, Samhain, a traditional Pagan celebration that celebrated the end of summer, the beginning of harvest, and the beginning of the long winter, is where Halloween’s origins may be traced.

Ancient Celts celebrated the day with bonfires and dressed up to scare away ghosts of the dead who they thought would descend to Earth on that day in what is now the UK, Ireland, and northern France.

In an effort to replace the previous Celtic celebration with a Christian one, the Roman Empire established November 1 as All Saints Day around the eleventh century as Christianity spread over Celtic territory, according to History.

The evening before All Saints Day came to be known as All-hallowmas, then All Hallows Eve, and finally Halloween.
