Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. The word Halloween is a shortened form of All Hallows’ Eve, the eve of All Hallows’ Day, also known as All Saints’ Day. This holiday has its origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which was held on the night of October 31 to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
Over the centuries, Halloween has evolved into a secular holiday that is celebrated by people of all ages. Today, Halloween is a popular holiday in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
People celebrate Halloween by dressing up in costumes, attending Halloween parties, and decorating their homes with Halloween decorations.
