Halloween is a global festival observed every year on October 31, marking the evening before All Saints’ Day. Originating from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain, it symbolized the end of harvest and the start of winter, when spirits were believed to roam the Earth.

Modern Halloween is filled with costumes, trick-or-treating, pumpkin carvings (Jack-o’-lanterns), haunted houses, and community parties. Children and adults dress as ghosts, witches, and heroes, celebrating the fun mix of spooky and joyful traditions.
