Posted • Want to know more about how Ireland is the Home of Halloween?

The story starts thousands of years ago. Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. The Celts believed that on this night, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. To ward off these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes. These are what those celebrations would have looked like.

When Christianity spread, the festival was incorporated into All Saints' Day on November 1st, with the evening before becoming All Hallows' Eve, eventually shortened to Halloween. Many modern Halloween traditions, such as dressing up, masking, and lighting jack-o'-lanterns, have roots in these ancient Samhain practices.

What’s your favourite Halloween tradition?
