Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.
People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.
Pope Gregory III assigned November 1 as a chance to respect all Saints. Before long, All Holy people Day integrated a portion of the practices of Samhain.
The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween
Over the long run, Halloween developed into a day of exercises like going house to house asking for candy, cutting jack-o-lights, merry get-togethers, wearing ensembles and eating treats.
Today, Americans spend an expected $6 billion every year on Halloween, making it the nation's second biggest business occasion after Christmas.
