Trivia: Halloween has its roots in which ancient holiday?
Beltane
Samhain
Michaelmas
Yule
Correct Answer: Samhain
So why is this answer correct? : Samhain, which roughly translates to “summer’s end,” was a three-day Celtic pagan festival. This celebration marked a period when the lines between living and dead were blurred. We’ve held onto Samhain traditions of bonfires, ghost stories, and pranks for Halloween.
