So why do we celebrate Halloween?
Putting on a costume and going out trick or treating is the most well-known Halloween tradition.
The top two costumes worn by adults in 2018? Witch and vampire.
Even pets participate in this holiday.
The top costume for our furry friends that same year was a pumpkin.
Halloween is a holiday that celebrates all things terrifying but its origins are closer to all things holy.
In fact the celebration was once called All Hallows Eve and it celebrated the lives of Catholic saints but more on that later.
So when did we start to dress up as monsters and carve out pumpkins for a holiday that commemorated saints? And what does trick or treating have to do with an ancient Catholic holiday?
