WHAT IS THE PURPOSE BEHIND CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN?

Two main theories explain the origins of Halloween. The first connects it to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. Celts believed this was when the veil between the real world and the spirit realm blurred, allowing spirits to pass through. Over time, this tradition intertwined with All Saints' Eve, a Christian tradition honoring loved ones who are not among us, creating the Halloween we know today.
