Since the annual Halloween is coming, we are offering the latest correlative holiday wallpapers for you to view, the detailed answers to the above questions as well. OK, let's have a quick view: Halloween (also Hallowe'en) is celebrated on October 31th. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints' Day.

Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of 1846.

Halloween has origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain; from the Old Irish samhain, possibly derived from Gaulish samonios). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year". Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient Celtic pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores.The ancient Celts believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks being worn at Halloween goes back to the Celtic traditions of attempting to copy the evil spirits or placate them, in Scotland for instance where the dead were impersonated by young men with masked, veiled or blackened faces, dressed in white.
