How old is Halloween?
Halloween is one of the oldest holidays in existence. Ostensibly, the fall holiday is only predated by Passover (this one is debated, as the dates seem to be pretty close in line- depends on what historical text you want to go off of), New Years (in it’s forms) and most historians believe that almost since the beginning of man, there has been some form of spring festival.
“If you celebrate Halloween today, you are taking part in a holiday festivity that has a genealogical line of more than 6,000 years. For something to have survived that long, through the tides of human passion, war, famine and religious persecution- surely is a magnificent feat!”
