Halloween celebrations originate from the ancient festival of Samhain, where people would dress in different costumes and light bonfires to ward off ghosts. The history of this celebration is extremely intriguing. November 1 was designated as a time to honour all saints by Pope Gregory III in the eighth century. Soon after, all the saints started incorporating the traditions of Samhain. The preceding evening was known as Hallows Eve, which later became Halloween. Halloween 2020 Funny Memes: These Fa-Boo-Lous Ghost Puns and Jokes on Year 2020 Will Lift Up Your 'Spirits' This Spooky Festival.
