The roots of Halloween go back to two thousand years ago in Europe and the Celtic peoples, but later it became decorated in America.
The themes of death and the spirit world are the roots of Halloween’s predecessor, Samhain. According to Celtic belief, during the harvest festival, the door to the afterlife was open and spirits wandered among the living.
Halloween started to become a family celebration like it is today in the United States in the 1950s. Halloween was brought there by Irish immigrants in the 19th century.
In Finland, Halloween cannot be found in an almanac, but it is usually celebrated on the last weekend of October. At the same time, the ancient cookie tradition rears its head.
