1. Answers may vary, but the Celts’ traditions should be discussed.
2. Pope Boniface IV named November 1 "All Saints' Day." It was a day to honor those who died for their beliefs. It was also called “All Hallows,” meaning “All Saints Day.” People began to call the night before it "All-hallows Eve." This name eventually became Halloween.
3. Dressing up in Halloween costumes also has European origins. Hundreds of years ago, people believed that ghosts roamed the streets on Halloween night, so they wore masks when they left home to fool ghosts into thinking they were other spirits. On Halloween, people would also place bowls of food outside their homes to please the ghosts and discourage them from entering their houses. Over the course of several centuries, people gradually began to eat these goodies themselves (and leave nothing for the ghosts!).
