This is a very interesting read about Halloween!

And now that it seems we all know that Halloween is not an American invention, but has its origins in an ancient Celtic celebration, later Romanized and finally Christianized, now that we’re aware that asking for treats, carved pumpkin faces, candles, and scary costumes to ward off evil spirits aren’t foreign traditions in northern Spain … I hope we can finally breathe easy and accept this festival without that uncomfortable feeling of being colonized.

This is a very interesting read about Halloween! I hope more people read your piece so they can learn more about this day in October.
It reminds me of relatives and some people from my birthplace who said I was worshipping the devil and pretending to be American for hanging up Halloween decorations and participating in trick-or-treating.
