History of Halloween







The day of Halloween began long ago with the rituals surrounding the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
The Celtic New Year was celebrated on November 1. The New Year was the Celtic end of harvest holiday, and the start of the dark winter. Winter was often equated with death, because of winter's harsh effect on people of the time. Because of this association, the ancient Celts believed that during the night before the New Year, the veil between the worlds of the dead and the living was thinned. Halloween is not traditional in Brazil. It seems very fun.
