Halloween
Halloween is a celebration observed in many countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It initiates the triduum of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Popular activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
The origins of Halloween can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Over time, the tradition evolved into a secular community event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In many parts of the world, Halloween has become a major commercial celebration, with costumes, decorations, and candy sales driving the economy.
