Halloween Day: Introduction to Origin, History and Greetings
Halloween is a festival celebrated every October 31st, a popular event worldwide. In this article, we will explore the origin and history of Halloween and the greetings suitable for Halloween.

1. Origin of Halloween
Halloween's origins came from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Sawin, a festival that marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, believed that the soul of the dead was returning to the world during this time. Celts made fires on this day, soothed their souls through rituals, and decorated themselves with various decorations to protect themselves from evil spirits.

Later, around the 8th century, around the influence of Christianity, November 1 was designated as All Saints Day, and the day before that, October 31, became Halloween. Halloween comes from All Hallows Eve, which means the day before all saints day.

2. History of Halloween
Halloween became popular in the mid-19th century when it was spread to the United States. Immigrants from Ireland and Scotland arrived in the United States, bringing their traditions, which combined with American culture, and evolved into a modern Halloween festival.

The symbol of Halloween, the pumpkin, is derived from the Jack-o'-lantern. Legend has it that a farmer named Jack tricked the devil into not sending his soul to hell, and in return, he became a soul that could not be released from hell. Jack is said to have dug up the amber and made a lamp, wandering through the darkness. This legend led to the modern Halloween custom of digging up amber to make lanterns.
