<ÇÒ¿ë ¿¹¹®>   Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
 The Celts celebrated their new year on November 1.
 This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.
 Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.
 On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.
In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future.
 For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.  To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires. 
During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes.  By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands.
In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs.
It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday.
The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. Are you fearful this halloween?
However,scary things can be fun at the same time occationally. Jack-o'-lanterns may be carved with a funny face.
Halloween's theme is spooky or scary things particularly involving death, black magic, or mythical monsters.
There are so many Halloween characters like ghosts, witches, bats, black cats, owls, goblins, zombies and demons..as well as fictional figures like Dracula and Frankenstein's monster.
