Question

How was halloween started?

Answer 1

The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain.

Answer 2

It was a festival in Samhain, that is where it started, it was also a part of the Celtic religion. That includes all the countries in Europe. Soon they thought the barrier between our world and the ghost and spirits world was starting to get thin.

Hoped this helped you :)
