Interesting fact:

Did you know that the term bonfire is a combination of ‘bone’ and ‘fire’? The word dates back to the very origins of Halloween, tied to the druids of old. The druids believed that the coming of winter coincides with the coming of an imminent end and in harvest festivals would throw cattle bones into a fire as part of their ceremonies. Halloween has existed in one form or another for over 6,000 years! That’s longer than most religions.
