The Origin of Halloween

2500 years ago,

the Celts living in the Great Britain believed that human is mastered by gods.

They also believed that Samhain, the death god,

would come back to the earthly world with the dead at the night on October 31st .

The Celts built bonfires and fired animals as sacrificial offerings to the death god.

Some Celts were dressed in costumes made from animal heads or furs,

which was the origin of contemporary Halloween masquerade.

The night of the death god was a horrifying time that signified the coming of winter

and was the beginning of Halloween eve.

Today, the religious meaning of Halloween has been weaken;

instead,the holiday expresses man's cherishing memory of Halloween via innovative,

ever-changing modern masquerade.
