Halloween has Celtic origins. The Celtic calendar was in two parts: summer and winter. Summer was from May to the end of October, and winter was from November to the end of April. The ancient Celtic festivity Samhain celebrated the end of the year: the start of winter. It began on the evening of October 31 and continued until the next day.
Druids were Celtic priests. On October 31, they performed religious rituals and talked about future events. The Celts believed that ghosts, witches, and evil spirits returned on the night of October 31. They believed that evil spirits entered the body of a person or animal. They wore frightening costumes and made big fires to send them away.
The colors of Halloween — orange and black — are of Celtic origin, too. Orange was the color of the harvest, and black was the color of winter and long nights. The Druids believed black cats had special powers and could feel if spirits were near. So black cats have become symbols of Halloween.
The Romans invaded Great Britain in AD 43. During the centuries, the Roman Catholic Church put Christian festivities in place of pre-Christian festivities. In the eighth century, the Church decided to call November 1 All Saints' Day. Another name for this day was All Hallows' Day. The evening of October 31 was All Hallows' Eve. This became Halloween.
