What is Halloween and when is it celebrated?

Of pagan origin, Halloween night, whose name comes from the contraction of All Hallow's Eve, has its origin in the ancient Celtic festival Samhain that refers to the end of summer. They believed that at that time of year the line that joins the world of the living with that of the dead narrowed and the spirits could cross it. That is why they held banquets at the tombs of their ancestors, performed sacred rites and wore masks to ward off evil spirits. Over the centuries, the arrival of other civilizations caused the traditions to be mixed and modified, until in 1840 it arrived in the United States. Since then, the party has been gaining popularity in the Anglo-Saxon world and with the arrival of cinema and television it has become international until it has become what it is today.

Thus, on the night of October 31, children from all over the world (although mainly the United States, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom) take to the streets in disguise to ask for sweets and treats from house to house. Although in Spain and Latin America this is considered an Anglo-Saxon festival and the celebrations are more discreet, the tradition of dressing up is maintained.
