Description of the slide:

A brief history of the holiday The first pilgrims of this continent were well aware of the occult roots of Halloween. For your information, they banned Halloween in America. In the US, this holiday was illegal until 1845. After that year, immigrants from Ireland flooded America, fleeing Europe after the so-called Potato Famine of 1845-46. It was they who brought with them the ancient holiday of the Druids - Halloween. Over time, the celebration of Halloween has spread throughout the country and the continent.

A Brief History of the Holiday But More Is Needed to Understand the Meaning of Halloween

Description of the slide:

A brief history of the holiday But to understand the meaning of Halloween, you need to delve even more into history. I managed to find out that in the original this holiday was called quite differently. It originated among the Celtic peoples (Breton, Gauls, Scots and Irish) long before the birth of Christ. These peoples had a tradition to celebrate the end of summer by offering sacrifices to their god Saman (So-wein). He was "the lord of death and evil spirits." On this day, the beginning of the New Year of the Celts was celebrated.
