Deep are the roots The celebration of the day that now is known as Halloween started about 2000 years ago. It was Celts who first gave birth to this tradition and the first name for Halloween was Samhain. Samhain is the God of the dead who is believed to control the spirits of the dead. O n November 1st, they had huge feasts, celebrating Samhain or the Celtic New Year When the Romans came to the territory of Celts, they brought their traditions with them. On that day the ancient Romans celebrated the Festival of Pomona , the goddess of fruit trees and gardens . Today , the Vigil of Samhain, the Celtic New Year and the Festival of Pomona were mixed together and resulted in Halloween. This pagan holiday received a new name from the English word « All Hallows Eve » .
