Halloween origins in Samhain

It’s Halloween month, but do you know where the traditions started from?
Halloween in the UK traces its roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated by the Celts in Britain, Ireland, and Northern France over 2,000 years ago. They believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead blurred, and spirits could visit the Earth.
