Kapan Halloween di tahun 2026?
Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on November 1. Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead blurred on October 31. Irish and Scottish immigrants brought Halloween traditions to North America in the 19th century, where it evolved into the holiday we know today.
Key traditions include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, carving jack-o'-lanterns from pumpkins, visiting haunted houses, and attending costume parties. Bobbing for apples and telling ghost stories are classic activities. The holiday has become the second-largest commercial holiday in the US after Christmas.
In Mexico, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) honors deceased loved ones with elaborate altars and sugar skulls. In Ireland, where Halloween originated, people light bonfires and play traditional games. In the Philippines, Pangangaluluwa involves children going door-to-door singing for souls in purgatory.
