Origin of Halloween
Ever wondered how Halloween started? Here it is:
It began with the Celts, when they noticed that as time passed, the days grew shorter and the nights grew longer. They believed that on the day of Halloween, the border between the worlds of the living and the dead...dissapeared.
Thus, they dressed up in tribal clothes and masks to try and scare away these spirits, just as we in America do.
Later on, the Spanish came and their church taught that you should hallow (respect) the spirits. Thus, the Day of the Dead began where people made alters to show respect to their ancestors, just as the people in Mexico do.
