How was your Halloween? Mine was grand. I spent the day at Disneyland. Not very Historical haha. So Halloween, has been around for thousands of years. It started out with the Celtics about 2000 years ago. During their time it was known as Samhain. It was a day for marking the end of harvest and moving forward into winter. It wasn't until the 8th century that the Catholic Church decided to create All Saints Day(All Hallows) on November 1. The days before it would be All Hallows Eve. Later on, it became Halloween. Costumes were pretty scary though, creepy really. But, Halloween didn't became Halloween until centuries later, where it was considered fun and exceptable(not in the Church). Now a days Halloween is one of the most money making holidays of the year just a bit behind Xmas!
Until next time!
