Straddling
the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death,
Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to
have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people
would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In
the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to
honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated
some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All
Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween.

Over time, Halloween evolved
into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly
activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around
the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people
continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and
sweet treats.
