History of Halloween

Halloween started as a religious festival for the Celts people. Celts people lived in Europe, they believed that on late October the souls of the deaths visited The Earth, so they always used to throw up  a fair to honor these souls. In time, the Romain people controlled the Celts, and started to use some of their traditions and habits, so they added this festival to their calendar list, and made it viral for the rest of the world. The term halloween was originally formed by the Catholic Church on November 1, so it originally was called "All Hallows Day" that meant the mass of all saint people. This explains why all people dresses up on Halloween like witches, ghosts, and fairies. http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/holidays/halloweenhistory.htm
