Halloween dates back to ancient Celtic holidays such as Samhain, which was celebrated at the end of summer and marked the end of the harvest season. On this day, people believed that the lines between the world of the living and the dead became especially thin, and the souls of the dead could return to earth. Over time, Halloween began to be mixed with the Christian holiday of All Saints' Day, which is celebrated on November 1st. There are many traditions associated with this holiday that have shaped the current look of Halloween.

Traditions and rituals
One of the most characteristic attributes of Halloween are costumes. People dress up as witches, zombies, ghosts, superheroes and many other characters. Traditionally, children go to “get” sweets from their neighbors, threatening them with “empty threats.” This process is called "trick-or-treating" and is fun for children and adults.

Halloween is also associated with pumpkins. Scary faces carved into them, known as Jack-o'-lanterns, decorate doorsteps. Pumpkins have become a symbol of the holidays and a great art project for the whole family.

Decorations and atmosphere
Houses and streets are decorated with cobwebs, buttons and scary figures. Many people host themed parties where they can enjoy scary movies and horror movies.

Gastronomic joys
Festive cuisine also deserves attention. This time of year, you can try sweets in the form of brains, eyes, or blood, as well as other fantastic treats.

Halloween around the world
Although Halloween is most popular in North America, the holiday is becoming increasingly popular in other parts of the world. In some countries, such as the UK, Ireland and Canada, Halloween has deep roots and is celebrated as lavishly as in the United States.
