Halloween is about to come. Halloween is a holiday of costumes, pumpkins, witches, ghosts, haunted houses and trick-or-treating. The word "Halloween" is derived from a few things; All Saints Day (1st November), Eve of All Hallows (All Hallows Eve).
The celebration of Halloween was originally the New Years Eve of the Celts, the eve of Samhain or "Winter's Eve". It was believed in ninth-century Europe that after you died, your soul remained in limbo. To send the souls up to Heaven the Christians used to go "souling". This is one custom which was thought that trick-or-treating originated from.
