All Things Halloween
Ghouls and ghosts, falling leaves and jack-o-lanterns, costumes and candy—What more can you ask for in a holiday?
Every holiday has its creation story, and Halloween is no different. Halloween originated as the Celtic religion in Britain, and other parts of Europe celebrated the thinning of the veil between the spirit and physical world, or "Samhain." When Christianity began influencing the Celtic religion, it eventually became All-Hallows-eve and, in turn, Halloween.
