The video delves into the origins of Halloween , tracing back to the Celtic festival of Samhain marking the transition from light to darkness. The Celts believed in benevolent spirits and prepared food for wandering souls, dressing up in scary costumes and carving turnips to ward off evil spirits. These ancient traditions influenced today's Halloween celebrations with dressing up and pumpkin carving. The integration of Celtic Samhain practices with Christian holidays resulted in All Saints' Day and All Hallows Eve becoming synonymous with Halloween. The Slavic Dziady holiday also honored departed souls, mirroring the reverence seen in Celtic Samhain practices, with rituals involving bonfires, vagabonds, and special breads for the deceased. The essence of facilitating the soul's journey to eternal happiness during these November holidays remains unchanged despite evolution in customs.
