October 31st : Halloween Day
We all know kids have been waiting for this day for weeks , but don ' t forget that adults can celebrate , too ! Do you know why we celebrate ?
Halloween falls on October 31 because the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain , considered the earliest known root of Halloween , occurred on this day . It marked a pivotal time of year when seasons changed , but , more importantly , observers also believed the boundary between this world and the next became especially thin at this time , enabling them to connect with the dead . This belief is shared by some other cultures ; a similar idea is mentioned around the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur , which also typically occurs in October and involves saying prayers for the dead . This is also where Halloween gains its " haunted " connotations . Spooky !
