It's Hallowe'en again!

Hallowe'en origins

Rooted in Celtic and Christian ritual, Halloween has evolved from ethnic celebration to a mixture of street festival, fright night, and vast commercial enterprise.

Halloween emerged from the Celtic festival of Samhain (summer's end), picked up elements of the Christian Hallowtide (All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day), arrived in North America as an Irish and Scottish festival, and evolved into an unofficial but large-scale holiday by the early 20th century.

Halloween is the definitive history of the most bewitching day of the year, illuminating the intricate history and shifting cultural forces behind this enduring trick-or-treat holiday.
