History of Halloween

2.

• Every year, at night
from October 31 to
November 1, Halloween
is celebrated in Western
countries. He is
especially loved by the
people of America and
Canada.

• The holiday is more
than a thousand years
old. It appeared at a
time when the ancient
Celtic tribes lived. On
October 31, the Celtic
tribes finished
harvesting and
celebrated this day in a
special way.

• It was believed that the
new year would begin on
November 1. According to
legend, the lord of the
dead, Samhain, will
capture the Sun god. A cold
winter will come. To
appease Samhain and the
evil spirits who came with
him, the Celts burned
bonfires and brought gifts.

5.

• They believed that on this
night the doors opened
between summer and
winter, life and death. In
the morning, the coals
from the fires were taken
home. They had to guard
people during the long
winter.
