What Is Halloween?
Ever Wondered What Halloween Really Is?
Halloween is a fun and spooky celebration that happens every year on October 31st. People usually dress up in Halloween costumes and decorate their homes with creepy things.
Basically, it’s a time to get a little spooky and a lot of festive fun with friends and family.
Why Is It Celebrated?
Well, it actually started with an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, where people believed that on this night, the line between the living and the spirits became really thin.
To protect themselves, they’d wear disguises and light fires to prevent ghosts.
Now, it’s less about scaring spirits and more about traditions, candy, costumes, and fun decorations.
Traditions, Symbols, and Customs
A lot of the traditions we follow today came from very old customs. Things like carving pumpkins, wearing Halloween costumes, and going trick-or-treating started a long time ago to celebrate the season and keep away spirits.
Costumes were basically worn to hide from ghosts. Candies came to make it fun for kids. Nowadays, people like cobwebs, skeletons, and lights to decorate their homes to make it exciting.
Myths, Legends, and Fascinating Facts
Over the years, different myths have arisen for this holiday.
One famous story is about Michael Myers. It’s a scary movie character that makes people think twice before stepping outside at night.
Some legends say that ghosts and spirits wander freely on Halloween night, due to which, people started wearing costumes.
Now, apart from these myths, here are some real facts. Halloween started over 2000 years ago with the festival of Samhain, which was celebrated due to the end of the harvest season and the start of winter.
When Christianity spread, it became connected with All Saints Day, and the night before turned into All Hallows’ Eve, which later became Halloween.
Now today, it’s celebrated all over the world with parties, costumes, and decorations.
Historic Events
Halloween has a long and fascinating story. As we have already discussed that it all began with an event called Samhain, and over time it has evolved into the Halloween day, which is now full of costumes, decorations, parties, and of course candies.
In recent times, events like parades, community festivals, and themed celebrations have turned Halloween into a cultural event.
Stores and brands like Home Depot, Spirit Halloween, and even Disney Halloween now offer themed decorations, costumes, and experiences to make it easier to join the fun.
