Did you know that the celebration is widely believed to be originated from the ancient Celtic harvest festivals where people would light up bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts? But as the years passed, the spiritual and religious meaning behind Halloween has been replaced with activities including trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving, although dressing up in costumes still remain a big part of the festivity.
