What Is Halloween?
Let’s pretend. There are monsters in the dark!
Scream and shiver. Wear a mask and have fun!
These are
customs
some people observe every
October 31. This evening is Halloween.
Halloween combines different beliefs. Long
ago, the fearful
Celts
prayed to their god of the
dead. They believed that good and evil spirits
were near. The Celts were happy, too. Their
harvest
was done. The ancient
Romans
also had
feasts then. They prayed for their dead and to
their harvest goddess.
Masks and costumes are part of Halloween.

How Did Halloween Begin?
When the Roman army beat the Celts, their cus-
toms combined. Later, Rome accepted
Christianity
.
Christian leaders made old Celtic and Roman
customs into new Christian ones.
Bonfires were once lighted against evil spirits.
Now, they kept away the devil. People had prayed
for their dead. Now, Christians prayed for those
who had died for Christianity. This happened on
November 1. It was called All Saints’ Day or All
Hallows’ Day. The evening before was called All
Hallows’ Even. This was October 31. People short-
ened this name to Halloween.
The Roman army fought the Celts and others.
