The History of Halloween

Although Halloween is America's second most popular holiday, most people have no idea where the rituals of this autumn celebration originated. Why do we go trick-or-treating? Why do we dress in costumes? Why do we carve pumpkins? And why do we spend this one night of the year focusing on death? It turns out that the answers to these questions are as fun and fascinating at Halloween itself!
