Information über die Herkunft des Namens ROSE in ROSE College
Contrary to popular belief, Halloween did not originate in the United States. The holiday has its origins in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France and dates back to over 2000 years ago. The ancient Celts who lived there celebrated their new year on November 1. They believed that on the eve of the new year, October 31, the boundary between the living and the dead blurred and the dead returned to earth. The celebration held on this day was called Samhain. As part of the festivities, which included large bonfires, people would dress up as ghouls and demons to escape the notice of the otherworldly spirits who had returned. Over time, the celebration evolved and blended with the traditions of other cultures that honoured the dead around the same time of year. But many of the traditions that characterize Halloween today – like guising – have their roots in this ancient Celtic fest.
