Which ancient Celtic festival is considered the origin of Halloween?
A Samhain
B Imbolc
C Beltane
The Celtic holiday of Samhain is where our modern-day Halloween got its start. The celebration marked several events, including the end of the summer and the start of the harvest season. It was thought that during this season, the line separating the realms of the living and the dead narrowed and became blurry, allowing the spirits of the dead to return.
The correct answer is Samhain.
