Halloween

Halloween is thought to have evolved from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.  The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead.

Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition.
