Although typified by largely North American pop culture, trick-or-treat evenings, scary costumes, and glowing pumpkins, Halloween comes from a 2,000-year-old Celtic festival - Samhain. It stems from the belief that as the seasons transition from summer to the dark and cold winter, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest - allowing spirits both evil and good to revisit the mortal world. The modern name stems from the Christian feast day of ‘All Hallows’ on 1 November, making the day before ‘Hallows Eve’.
