The history of Halloween

Halloween, October 31, grew from the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, when people believed the boundary between the living and the dead grew thin. Christian churches later placed All Saints’ Day on November 1, and the evening before became All Hallows’ Eve, or Halloween.

Irish and Scottish immigrants brought many Halloween customs to the United States in the nineteenth century, including carved turnips that became carved pumpkins. Trick-or-treating spread across the country in the 1930s to 1950s, and today Halloween is one of the biggest holidays of the year for costumes, candy and decorations.

Halloween is a natural home for patches. Kids and adults add spooky patches to jackets, bags and costumes, schools and community centers hold trunk-or-treats and costume contests, and haunted attractions and fall festivals sell patches as souvenirs. Glow-in-the-dark thread is a popular finishing touch for patches that are meant to be seen after dark.
