	<h1>Halloween</h1>
		<p>A multibillion dollar pagan ritual.</p>
		<h2>From Samhain to All Saints Day</h2>
		<img src="halloween.jpg" height="200" width="200" alt="Halloween image" align="left" hspace="10"/>
		<p>Halloween as we currently conceive it in the US is a descendent of the Celtic harvest-marker, Samhain. The day marked the end of the harvest season. Nestled against the falling leaves and turning crops, Samhain was thought to likewise mark the time for an opening of a bridge between the living and the dead.
		 </p>
		 <p>In the 8th Century, the Christian church changed Samhain to All Saints Day (with All Hallows' Eve the night before, on October 31st). The poor would exchange prayers for food in the form of soul cakes. This tradition, and "<i>guising</i>" where individuals would dress in costume and accept food and money in exchange for songs and dances, were brought over to the US by immigrants to bring us closer to the Halloween that we see today.</p>
		 <p>By the 1950s, in the US, we start to have a Halloween tradition that is more representative of what we see today. Halloween has evolved into a community-based, social holiday geared primarily toward the young. It is non-religious in nature and accounts for a <em>$6 billion dollar industry</em> between candy and costumes.
