What Is Halloween?
Back in the 8th century, old Pagan priests and Celts (who lived in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France) celebrated the new year on November 1st. The year ended by the end of summer and the harvest season and the new one began with the dark, cold season that was usually associated with death. The Celts believed that the night before the new year connects the worlds of the living and dead, so they celebrated the night of October 31st as they believed that the ghosts of the dead came back to life.
