Halloween in 53 days. The Halloween observance originated with the Celtic Druids in 700 B.C. The Druids believed that the souls of the dead returned to inhabit the bodies of the living on October 31. Villagers donned masks and costumes and paraded to the outskirts of town to trick roving spirits into leaving. Later, October 31 was incorporated into the Christian calendar as All Hallow's Eve, honoring martyrs and saints. Children wearing costumes offered to fast for departed souls in exchange for money or an offering. Irish Catholics fleeing from the potato famine in the 1840s introduced the Halloween observance to the United States, including the practice of carving jack-o'lanterns.
