welcome back let's learn all about Halloween so what is Halloween Halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October every year people would dress up in all sorts of costumes go trick-or-treating at night visit haunted houses or carve jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins but what is the history of Halloween before Halloween there was saline which means Summer's end it was a Celtic Festival celebrated about 2000 years ago someone marked the end of summer and it's the festival for the dead it was thought to be a time when ghosts would come out people then would dress up in costumes

and make noise in the streets in order to make the spirits go away but how did Samhain become Halloween well eventually the Romans conquered the Celtic lands and the Roman Catholic Church renamed Sawan which was on the 1st of November to All Hallows day the day before All Hallows Day Is All Hallows Eve it later got shortened to Halloween did you get all of that and why do people go trick-or-treating on Halloween well it started back with Sawan when people would leave out food for any ghosts that might be wandering about that night children dressed

in costumes would perform songs and dances for candies and pennies today saying trick or treat it's a reminder that people should give out candy or else expect some kind of trick to be played on them where did the jack-o-lanterns come from it's actually based on an Irish legend about a man called Stingy Jack Who tricked the devil twice when Jack died he was barred from both Heaven and Hell but the devil took some pity on him and gave him an ember of coal to the lightest turnip Lantern as he wandered alone on Earth it then

became a tradition for people to keep jack-o-lanterns outside their homes to scare evil spirits away today we mainly carve pumpkins for decorations and it's an activity the whole family can enjoy Oh and before I forget happy Halloween don't forget to like this video And subscribe to our Channel we'll see you soon bye bye now [Music]
