Halloween
Halloween: it’s a big tradition each year. But have you wondered
where it all started? Well, it all started in Ireland as the Celtic
festival of Samhain. On Samhain, the Irish believed that ghosts
and fairies could come into the human world very easily. In order
to prevent them from causing trouble, they laid out offerings or
shares of their crops. Trick or treating started when children
dressed up as fairies and ghosts to get food during Samhain.
That’s a short explanation for Halloween. For more, visit
