You’ve certainly celebrated Halloween before, but perhaps you don’t know that this a party emerged over 3,000 years ago among Celtic people. Every year, on October 31st, they celebrated their harvests, the end of summer, and the beginning of another year, according to their calendar.
The Celts also believed that supernatural beings roamed the earth on that day. To maintain harmony with the spirits of the supernatural world, the people dressed up and offered treats to anyone who asked.
Years later, around the 20th century, Halloween arrived in the United States. Over the years, the celebration has become a cultural tradition and is celebrated annually amongst children and adults.
