Everyone knows Halloween is a very popular American and British holiday, celebrated on
31st October, but………… do you know the
origin of this feast?
Well, it goes back to 4000 years ago, when in Ireland lived a people called
Celts.

On this day Celts celebrated the end of summer and the arrival of winter. They made big fires to light the night and to warm themselves.

They also believed that fire attracted devil, witches and the spirits of dead people who came out of their tomb during the night.
When the
Christians arrived in Britain they introduced their religious feasts.
1st November is the day of All Saints (All Hallows' day in English) so the evening of 31st October is called
All Hallows' Eve or HALLOWEEN.
That's why Halloween is the time of Ghosts, of Witches and black cats, of pumpkins and bats, but it is time of………..Parties, too!!!
