The word hallowe[']en comes from the Scottish type of All Honors' Eve (the night prior to All Blesses' Day).
Halloween was initially a Celtic celebration called Samhain. The occasion was commended in Ireland and Scotland for quite a long time.
Samhain denoted the finish of summer and the start of winter. Celts would construct huge fires to check the difference in seasons and recount each other stories, wear creature parts as ensembles and penance creatures.
It is trusted that "swaying apples" turned into a practice related with Halloween as the image for Pomona is an apple.
At the point when Irish and English travelers got across the Atlantic, the custom of observing Halloween continued on toward the US.
