Fun Halloween Facts

Halloween comes from an old Celtic festival celebrated on All Hallow's Eve. The Celts believed the spirits of the dead were able to walk with the living on October the 31st the day before All Saints Day. So that the spirits would leave them alone they dressed up as spirits themselves, thus starting the tradition of dressing up at Halloween.

In Mexico they celebrate the Day Of The Dead at Halloween.

Halloween colors are orange and black, these represent the harvest and the night.

Black cats were believed to be witches familiars and could bring good or bad luck.
