When is Halloween 2024?

Halloween 2024 is coming on Thursday, October 31st!

What is Halloween and why is it celebrated?

Halloween originated with Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival.

The Celts believed that ghosts of the dead could return to earth on October 31st, so they lit bonfires and disguised themselves as evil spirits. Over time, the Christian Church transformed Samhain into All Saints’ Day, and Halloween was born.

What are 5 Halloween traditions?

  • Trick-or-treating
  • Carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns

Which animal is a symbol of Halloween?

The black cat and owl are two of the most well-known Halloween symbols. 

This is due to their association with witchcraft and magic. Furthermore, their popularity in pop culture has made them even more recognisable. Their distinct features also fit well with Halloween’s spooky and supernatural themes.
