Why do we celebrate Halloween?

According to History.com, Halloween was initially the Celtic holiday of Samhain. The celebration on November 1 marked the end of the harvest season. Celts believed in the night before spirits of the dead returned to earth. The celebration was combined with a Roman festival in 43 AD. Eventually, the Catholic Church changed the holiday to honor all Christian martyrs and saints: All Saints’ Day. The night before is All Hallows Eve or Halloween.
