What Is The Origin Of Halloween?

#halloween The ancient Celtic peoples used to hold a grand ceremony to commemorate “the end of the harvest". This celebration took place at the end of October. This festival was baptized with the Gaelic word “Samhain". (The etymological meaning is “the end of summer".) This is because during this celebration they said goodbye to Lugh, the god of the sun
This holiday marked the time when the days became shorter and the nights longer. The Celts, like many pre-Spanish cultures, believed that in Samhain the spirits of the dead returned to visit the mortal world.

The Celtic year ended on October 31, in autumn, the main feature of which is the fall of the leaves. For them, it meant the end of death or the beginning of a new life. This doctrine has spread from generation to generation over the years.
It was customary to leave food and candy outside their homes as a sacrifice. On the other hand, it was customary to light candles to help the souls of the dead find their way to light and tranquility next to Lugh.

On the other hand, rituals were also performed on the night of October 31. These had a purifying character to close the year.
