2. How did Halloween start? When? Read the article to find out.

2, 000years ago, the Celts lived in the area which is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France. They used to grow their own food and they considered harvest time to be the end of the year. Every year, they celebrated New Year’s Eve on October 31^st with a festival called “Samhain”. The Celts dressed in animal heads and skins for this festival, and their priests, the Druids, built huge bonfires which the Celts gathered around to born crops as sacrifices to their ancient gods. October 31^st marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter and the Celts believed that on that night, the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth. The Celts thought that the ghosts helped the Druids to predict the future.

In about 43 AD, after the Romans conquered the Celts, two Roman festivals, Feralia (when Romans remembered their dead) and Pomona Day (when the Romans honoured their goddess of fruits and gardens), were combined with the Celtic Samhain festival. Later, in the 7^th century, when Christianity reached the land of the Celts, the Pope made November 1^st All Saint’s Day. This was the time for people to honour saints and martyrs. This celebration was also called All Hallows or Hallowmas. The night before it became known as All Hallows’ Eve, which later changed to Halloween.

Today, people celebrate Halloween with black cats and magic from Samhain, apples and harvest from Pomona Day and ghosts and skeletons from All Saint’s Day. It’s a thrilling mixture of fun and fear!
