Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain. The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year". Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed tha t on October 3 1, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.

Halloween originated from the Celtic Savin Festival. In ancient Celtic belief, the new year begins on 1 1 month 1 day, or Samhain. Just as the shorter day symbolizes the beginning of a new year, so does the sunset. Therefore, the annual harvest festival begins on the evening of1October 3 1 day. Druids in the British Isles will burn crops as sacrifices, and when they dance around the fire, the solar season will end and the Sawin Festival will begin. Celts believe that Samhain, the god of death, will return to the earth with ghosts on the night of1October 3 1 day, looking for body double. So they lit torches and burned animals as a gift from the god of death. They will also dress themselves up with costumes made of animal heads or fur, and make strange noises, so that the god of death can't recognize himself and avoid disasters. This is the origin of today's Halloween masquerade.
