Did you know? - Some interesting facts about Halloween
- Halloween can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin. The name is derived from Old Irish and roughly means "summer's end". Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".
- Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world, dating back over 2000 years to the time of the Celts who lived in Britain
- About 99% of pumpkins sold are used as Jack O'Lanterns at Halloween
- Orange and black are Halloween colours because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.
- Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.
