Modern day Halloween is a hodge podge of forgotten traditions that make the holiday what it is today.
With roots dating back over 2500 years, Samhain kept a strong hold on the imaginations and beliefs of numerous generations that led all the way this very year.
Clicking through these webpages shows the one belief of the veil being at its thinnest during Samhain, has helped pave the way for many traditions.
While carving pumpkins we no longer tell tales of "Stingy Jack" and when we dress up, we have (thankfully) moved away from furs and animal skills.
History has given us traditions that we all hold dear, even if the origins are no longer in the spotlight.
A few highlights about today's Halloween:
Halloween is the second highest grossing holiday, only bested by Christmas.
Halloween is the day the most candy is consumed each year.
Candy Corn, originally called “Chicken Feed” is one of the most debated candy every Halloween season.
