The festival of Halloween, we know as the typical U.S. and Canada, which is celebrated on October 31, also has ancient roots in European traditions.
With the Celtic festival was called Samhain and waved to the end of summer.
The Celts believed in fairies and the elves (not demons). On the night of Samhain, however, these beings were considered dangerous to humans for their jokes. From here comes perhaps the most recent tradition of children dressing up as witches, zombies, vampires and ghosts and go knocking on homes asking, "Trick or treat?"
To ward off bad luck must knock at 13 houses!
Two different etymologies for the word Halloween:
-All Hallows Eve = Eve of All Saints
-ALL EVEN = Allows evening when everything is permitted.
Including the belief that on this night the dead go to visit the living.
