When is Halloween 2017? True story behind All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day, why we celebrate and terrifying facts Tucked between the cold nights of winter and the falling leaves of autumn we have Halloween - a time of celebration and superstition. But where did the spooky day come from and why do we celebrate it? The spookiest time of the year isn't just a time for kids to dress up and trick or treat. It's thought Halloween started with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would wear costumes and roam to ward of ghosts, but it's down to Pope Gregory III's decree in the eight century that we celebrate it as we do. Why do we celebrate Halloween? Samhain (sow-in) marked the end of summer and the harvest and heralded in the colder months. Traditionally people wore costumes, animal skins and heads and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. The first was Feralia, a day late in October where Romans marked the passing of the dead. It was in 609 AD that Christianity changed the festival to add praying for the dead. The next day, November 2, is All Souls Day, when the dead are remembered. 1. 2.
