Halloween is a very popular celebration in the United States that has recently spread to much of the world.
It takes place on the eve of October 31st; the following day is the Christian feast of All Saints, a time to remember the deceased. The name comes from the Old English All Hallows' Eve.
Halloween is said to originate from the Celtic festival of Samhain (meaning end of summer). It was a celebration marking the end of the harvest season.
The tradition was brought to the United States by Scottish and Irish immigrants, and many believe it is actually an ancient Celtic pagan tradition that was adopted into Christianity.
One Halloween tradition involves dressing up in costumes to go to parties or to go door-to-door asking for candy-a practice known as trick-or-treat. People decorate their homes and other locations with great enthusiasm.
In the late 1930s, the American magazine The American Home began publishing articles about trick-or-treating aimed at American families. Radio and television programs helped popularize the custom even further.
We celebrate this festive occasion and hope you enjoy our selection of photographs, which we hope will serve as inspiration.
