Home > Society > Holidays > Halloween > History

This subcategory is designed to group pages which tell of Halloween's origin and development.

Halloween has been influenced by the Celts, pagans, Catholics, and other religious and ethnic groups. Only pages which give a general history, without condemning any religion or group will be classed here.

Accounts of the history of Halloween which rely on religious writings, doctrines, or beliefs; or which defend one religion against another will be found under Halloween: Religious Views.
