The tradition of Halloween dates back thousands of years to Celtic rituals. People
believed that on once a year the human world and the other dark world of the spirits
and ghosts overlap. It is possible for the spirits to return to earth. The date was fixed
as October 31.

In the olden days the Celts celebrated their new year on November 1. Which was a
official day marked as the end of summer and beginning of cold and dark winter in
Ireland.

Over the years two Roman traditions were combined with the traditional Celtic
celebration. The first tradition was commemorating the dead and the second was to
honor the Roman Goddess of fruit and trees called Pomona.
