History of Halloween
Halloween is a holiday that has captivated people's imaginations for centuries. It's a mixture of various traditions and cultures, making it a truly unique celebration. The origins of Halloween can be traced back to the Celtic practice of Samhain. However, with the arrival of the Romans, the holiday evolved, incorporating elements from their own traditions.
The Romans combined two holidays with Samhain. The first was Feralia, a day dedicated to honoring the dead, while the second celebrated Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. Over time, the Church designated November 1st as All Saint's Day, with the evening before becoming known as “All-hollows.”
In early America, Halloween was not widely celebrated due to strict Protestant beliefs. However, as the 19th century progressed, it gained popularity and transformed into a community-focused celebration. Pagan rituals were replaced with games, seasonal food, and costumes, giving Halloween the festive spirit we know today.
