[quote=PINETREE ,33817]Origin of Halloween - here you are :-It started from the Celts who lived in Europe more than 2000 yrs ago. On every Nov 1, they celebrated the end of summer. They thought ghosts visited the living on Oct 31 & they dressed up like ghosts so that the spirits would not harm them.Today, many Western countries remember the dead on Nov 1 - All Saints Day. Another name for it is All Hallow's Day & 31st Oct is called All Hallow's Eve or Halloween !!It is an old tradition in Ireland & Scotland ( not England). People there used to dress up & carried lanterns made of turnips. When these people migrated to the USA/Canada, they started using pumpkins instead.They also had a tradition of giving food to the spirits which later turned into giving food to the poor.Hope u are happy with this.[/quote]
