When is Halloween celebrated? The
celebration of Hallowe'en today is a mixture of rituals
and celebrations from a lot of different people. The earliest origin
is from the Celts, who lived in Scotland. On October 31,
they celebrated what they called Samhain (pronounced
So-in). It was the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the
cold, dark winters. The Celts believed that on Oct 31, the Lord of Death
released souls back to Earth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/competitions/halloween/index.shtml One more thing. Wonder where the whole Jack-o-Lantern thing came from? Well, before there were flashlights and such, Irish people used to carve out turnips and put a candle in them for a lantern. When they came to America, they noticed there weren't many turnips, but lots and lots of pumpkins, so they used them instead! taken from http://www.zeeks.com/423.html
