Happy Halloween

Halloween originated as an ancient Celtic festival

It used to be called All Hallows Eve

Halloween occurs at the end of the harvest, when Winter starts.

It was believed that the world of the living and the world of the dead would overlap on Halloween and the dead might come back to life and cause sickness or damage the crops.
