Halloween

Halloween has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain a harvest festival dedicated to Celtic pagan spirits. Celtic Pagans still consider Halloween a religious holiday to this day. However, most people around the world view Halloween as a non-religious holiday dedicated to imaginary spooks and merrymaking. It is this perception of Halloween as a non-religious holiday that has helped Halloween spread around the world. Halloween is widely associated with costume parties, ghosts and demons, trick-or-treating, candy, jack-o'-lanterns, pranks and the macabre.
