Here da story

The holiday of Samhain was New Year's Eve for the Celtic people. This holiday marked the end of the harvest time. Samhain (pronounced sow-in) also began many traditions that we celebrate today on Halloween.
The Celts were an ancient group of people. They lived more than 2,000 years ago. They lived on the land that is now Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England and much of Europe.
Celts believed that there were two parts of the year. One was the light half, the other the dark half.
The holiday Samhain marked the beginning of the darkness. Celts also believed there was a door between the living and the dead people. During Samhain, the door was believed to be at its weakest, says Brenda Malone. She works with the National Museum of Ireland. This door opening was said to allow the dead to walk with the living.
Many Early Traditions
The first record of Samhain was found in France. It is believed to be from the first century B.C.

Samhain was the lord of the dead or winter. Every winter, he began a six-month struggle with Bael, the sun god. Every spring, Bael would win. This marked a return to lightness. It is celebrated as Beltane, or May Day. Samhain was the god of winter's holiday.
About 1,000 years ago, Celtic priests known as Druids roamed Ireland. On Samhain, they would head to a holy hill. Druids would start a special bonfire. The light called on people across Ireland.
It told them to gather and build bonfires of their own. Around the bonfire, people celebrated the season of darkness. They danced and feasted.
Bonfires were also said to welcome spirits. The ghosts of the dead could travel to Earth during this time. They searched for food and comfort. However, evil spirits, fairies, gods and witches also
came.
They looked for mischief.
People Carried Treats To Avoid Tricks
Some of the stories of Samhain might sound familiar to us. People were said to mask themselves as spirits. They did this to fool real ones. Some people dressed up in animal skins. In Scotland, some wore white. They veiled their faces.
During Samhain, people were also said to carry treats in their pockets. This was done in case an angry spook surprised them and demanded treats.
People carried jack-o'-lanterns during Samhain. They were not made from pumpkins. They were usually hollowed out turnips, potatoes or beets. The jack-o'-lanterns were lit by candles. They helped to brighten the night and scare away the spirits seeking to harm the people. Pumpkins became popular much later. Irish immigrants came to America. They found pumpkins more easily available and enjoyed carving them.
Get Your Fortune Told!
With the new year came new predictions for the future. Samhain was seen as the perfect time for telling fortunes. Many of these predictions were done with apples and nuts. These were fruits of the harvest.
Apple bobbing was a popular way to predict the future. The first person to bite into a fruit, for example, would be the first to marry.
In A.D. 835, the Roman Catholic Church saw Samhain as unholy. It wanted to overtake its practices. So it turned November 1 into a holiday to honor saints, called All Saints Day. Later, the church added a second holiday, All Souls Day. It happens on November 2 to honor the dead.
English rulers also tried to push away the Celtic spirituality and language. Yet a version of Samhain still holds today in Ireland. Many people still celebrate with bonfires.
The Spirit Of The Holiday Has Changed
Immigrants brought these traditions to the United States. They mixed with the Roman holiday Pomona Dav and the Mexican Day of the Dead. Together, these traditions created the Halloween we know today. The Spirit Of The Holiday Has Changed

Samhain has greatly influenced popular culture. However, an important part of the celebration has been lost in American Halloween. We do not reflect much on loved ones who have passed away.
