It describes bonfires, costumes made from animal skins, and the belief that spirits could cross closer to the human world. The text then connects Samhain to Christian observances, including All Saints’ Day and All Hallows, and shows how the name Halloween emerged when All Hallows’ Eve was shortened over time. It concludes with how Irish and Scottish settlers carried these customs to America in the 1800s, shaping modern traditions like costumes and jack-o’-lanterns.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-origins-of-halloween-name-solve-each-problem/486469/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-origins-of-halloween-name-solve-each-problem/486469.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"ahduag","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-06","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What festival did the Celts celebrate that later influenced Halloween?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The Celts celebrated Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of dark, cold winter.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"Why did some Celts wear costumes made of animal skins during Samhain?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"They believed spirits might be near, and they wanted to blend in by disguising themselves.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How did Halloween customs reach America, according to the passage?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"People from Ireland and Scotland carried their autumn customs across the ocean to America in the 1800s, where the traditions combined with new ones.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},486469,1790831220,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":34,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},3985747870414,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","Picture a chilly hillside in Ireland about 2,000 years ago, where a giant bonfire crackles against the night sky. People called the Celts have gathered around the flames, wrapped in warm cloaks, celebrating the end of the harvest season. This nighttime festival was called Samhain, and it marked the moment when summer ended and the dark, cold winter began. Can you imagine your whole town staying up late by one enormous fire? That is how Samhain looked and sounded.  \nThose crackling bonfires were more than just a way to stay warm. The Celts  \nbelieved that on the night of Samhain, the line between our world and the world of spirits grew very thin. Because they thought spirits might wander close, some people wore costumes made of animal skins so they would blend in. Fires, food, and disguises were all part of how these people welcomed the darkest part of the year.  \nCostumes and firelight were only the start of a story that kept changing over hundreds of years. Long after the time of the Celts, Christian leaders set aside November 1st as a special day to honor saints and holy people. This day was called All Saints' Day, and an older name for it was All Hallows, because \"hallow\" is an old word that means a holy person. Little by little, the old harvest festival and the new church day landed right next to each other on the calendar.  \nSince All Hallows fell on November 1st, the evening before it needed a name too. People began calling October 31st \"All Hallows' Eve,\" because \"eve\" simply means the night before something. Over time, folks shortened those words the way we shorten words today, and \"All Hallows' Eve\"slowly turned into \"Halloween. \" So the spooky-sounding name you say every October actually comes from words that mean \"the holy night before. \"  \nFrom a hilltop bonfire to the word on your candy bucket, Halloween traveled avery long road. When people from Ireland and Scotland moved to America in the 1800s, they carried their autumn customs with them across the ocean. Those old traditions mixed with new ones and grew into the costumes, candy, and jack-o'-lanterns you know today. The next time you light a pumpkin, remember that its glowing flame is a tiny echo of a fire that burned 2,000 years ago.  \nThe Origins of Halloween  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What was the Celtic festival of Samhain celebrating?\u003Cbr>A.
