2500 years ago, the Celts living in the great Britain believed that human is mastered by gods. They also believed that the death god, Samhain, would come back to the earthly world with the dead at t
he night on October 31.
In order to appease the wandering spirits, the Celtic
priests made fires in which they burned sacrifices, made charms,
and cast spells.
Some Celts were dressed in costumes and masks made from animals’ heads or furs, which was the origin of Halloween
masked balls.
The Christians called November 1 All Hallow’s Day, the day of All Saints. The evening of October 31 was called Hallows’ Eve. This became H
alloween.
On Halloween, American children take their costumes and masks to school. Halloween costumes are the witch, ghost, skeleton, or va
mpire.
