#HeedtheRoar
Halloween is an annual celebration on October 31st with origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which later merged with Christian observances like All Hallows' Eve. Modern traditions include wearing costumes, trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins (jack-o'-lanterns), and decorating. The holiday has evolved to incorporate both a spooky cultural theme and spiritual meanings related to transformation and the afterlife.
