Halloween is celebrated on October 31 in the United States. Many people carve pumpkins, wear costumes, have parties, and take children trick or treating. This day’s origin comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which was a pagan celebration to welcome harvest at the end of the summer. People would light bonfires and wear costumes to scare off ghosts. Pope Gregory III declared November 1 as All Saints Day and the evening before was now as All Hallows Eve which later became Halloween.
However you celebrate this day (or don’t), I hope you have a safe and fun day!
