October 31, 2017 is
Halloween
Today is Halloween! Halloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, can be traced back to
an ancient Celtic pagan festival called “Samhain,” which was celebrated over
2,000 years ago. The Celtic calendar began on November 1, and the Celts believed
that as the old year faded and the new year emerged, the boundaries between the
living and the dead became unstable. On the night of October 31, the spirits of
the deceased could walk the earth and provoke sickness or damage crops. To
combat these evil spirits and ward off wandering ghosts, the Celts built huge
bonfires, left bowls of food outside their homes, and wore costumes and
masks.
Although there are still plenty of ghosts and ghouls, Halloween has
evolved into a secular, family-friendly event. One quarter of all the candy sold
in the United States is purchased for Halloween, and over 40 million children
trick-or-treat in their neighborhood each year.
