Los antiguos pueblos celtas sol\u00edan realizar una gran ceremonia para conmemorar \u201cel final de la cosecha\u201d. Esta celebraci\u00f3n ocurr\u00eda a finales de octubre.<\/p>\n
El d\u00eda 31 de Octubre, que es la fecha en la que se celebra en la actualidad, los celtas celebraban el fin del a\u00f1o con el Samhain, una fiesta pagana. Esta festividad marcaba el momento en que los d\u00edas se iban haciendo m\u00e1s cortos y las noches m\u00e1s largas. Los celtas, al igual que muchas culturas prehisp\u00e1nicas, cre\u00edan que en Samhain los esp\u00edritus de los muertos regresaban a visitar el mundo de los mortales.<\/p>\n
El a\u00f1o c\u00e9ltico conclu\u00eda el 31 de octubre, en el oto\u00f1o, cuya caracter\u00edstica principal es la ca\u00edda de las hojas. Para ellos significaba el fin de la muerte o iniciaci\u00f3n de una nueva vida. Esta ense\u00f1anza se propag\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de los a\u00f1os de generaci\u00f3n en generaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
La costumbre era dejar comida y dulces afuera de sus casas en manera de ofrenda. Por otro lado, era com\u00fan encender velas para ayudar a las almas de los muertos a encontrar el camino hacia la luz. Tambi\u00e9n en la noche del 31 de octubre se hac\u00edan rituales, con car\u00e1cter purificador para despedir el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
Con el catolicismo, esta fiesta pagana se cristianiz\u00f3, y comenz\u00f3 a llamarse \u201cLa V\u00edspera de Todos los Santos\u201d. La traducci\u00f3n en ingl\u00e9s es, \u201cAll Hallow\u00b4s Eve\u201d, de ah\u00ed naci\u00f3 la palabra \u201cHalloween\u201d.<\/p>\n
Con la inmigraci\u00f3n europea a Estados Unidos, lleg\u00f3 la tradici\u00f3n del Halloween al continente americano. Los inmigrantes, principalmente irlandeses cat\u00f3licos, transmitieron versiones de esta tradici\u00f3n durante la gran hambruna Irlandesa; y fueron ellos los que difundieron la
\ncostumbre de tallar los \u00abjak-o\u2019-lantern\u00bb (Calabaza gigante hueca con una vela dentro).<\/p>\n
La celebraci\u00f3n actual t\u00edpica del Halloween son el famoso \u00abdulce o truco\u00ab, anteriormente truco o trato; las fiestas de disfraces, leer historias o ver pel\u00edculas de terror, visitar casas encantadas, entre muchas otras.<\/p>\n
