The Celts festival of the dead, known as Samhain (SAH- win), celebrated the beginning of winter each year. The segment of our Halloween celebration known as Trick-or- Treating is a result of the Celts belief that gifts of food and drink should be left outside for the souls traveling to the underworld.

Because the Celts refused to give up their old traditions, Halloween (short for All Hallows' Evening) continued to be celebrated in the British Isles and eventually spread to other parts of the world. The custom of the lighted Jack- O-Lantern was the invention of the Irish who originally carved turnips and lighted them with candles to be used as lanterns on Halloween. Because the celebration of Halloween originated in a celebration of the dead - ghouls, ghoblins, witches, and bats became characteristic of the holiday.
