HOW WAS HALLOWEEN BORN?

Halloween is a very old festival. In ancient times, it was celebrated by the Celts in an area which today includes the
United Kingdom and Ireland. On the night of October 31st, considered the last day of summer at that time, people
would put out the fires in their hearths son that the houses felt cold and the spirits would not want to go inside.
The Celts believed that on October 31st, everyone who had died in the previous year gathered together to choose
the body of a person or an animal to take over for the next twelve months. So, the Celts dressed up as devils, ghosts,
and witches, and marched through the towns making lots of noise to frighten off the spirits. Afterwards, they lit a
big bonfire in the center of the town to light up the night. Today, Halloween is a festival celebrated by children.
