The Story of Halloween
Thousands of years ago, the Celts held a festival for the Lord of Death. Many monks believed that the Lord of Death ruled the world in winter. They believed that when the Lord of Death came, many evil spirits came with him too.
There were different kinds of evil spirits, such as goblins, ghosts, witches and vampires. The Celts did not like evil spirits. They made big fires to drive the evil spirits away.
It was thought that witches had magic power. It was also believed that witches liked to play tricks on people. Many children like to play tricks on people too. Today, children in America have a lot of fun dressing up in costumes and going “Trick or Treating.”
People celebrate Halloween on October 31. Now, Halloween is a holiday especially fun for children.
