Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween
2020 occurs on Saturday, October 31. The tradition originated with the
ancient Celtic festival of Samhain,
when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time
to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the
traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve,
and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of
activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive
gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

The term Halloween is an abbreviated form of ‘All-hallow-even’
that comes from All Hallows’ Day, also known as the All Saints’ Day. It
was regarded as a religious day in the European Pagan culture. Pope
Gregory III and Gregory IV shifted the Christian Feast of the All
Saints’ Day to November 1. Today, All Saints’ Day follows Halloween.
During the 9th century, both were celebrated on the same day.

All Souls’ Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires,
parades and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The
All Saints’ Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas
(from Middle English
Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and
the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic
religion, began to be called All-Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
Halloween cards
Black and orange are regarded as the traditional colors of
Halloween. Over the years, even purple, green and red have become
popular as Halloween colors. They are used heavily in decorations and
have become a part of Halloween party themes. People dress up in these
colors. Gifts and supplies are wrapped in these colors. Let’s see how
they are linked with Halloween.
