When is Halloween? History behind Halloween

Halloween is observed on October 31 every year, on the eve of All Saints’ Day and it marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints, or All Hallows. The origin of Halloween traces back to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival.

The ancient festival was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars. It was widely believed that the souls of the dead returned to their homes on this day. To ward off spirits, people lit bonfires and got dressed in costumes. This is how the witches, ghosts and other Halloween tropes became associated with the holiday.
