Halloween Traditions

This audiobook explores the ancient origins of Halloween, tracing its roots back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the transition between seasons and involved rituals to honor ancestors and ward off spirits. It details how these early practices—such as lighting bonfires, wearing disguises, and leaving offerings—eventually influenced modern Halloween traditions like trick-or-treating. The transformation of Samhain into All Hallows’ Eve through Christian observances is also examined, highlighting how ancient customs have evolved into today's festive celebrations.
