Halloween Day History:
Halloween dates back to medieval times when it was celebrated for a completely different reason. How does Halloween acquire its spooky connotations? Let's navigate through its history in search of the answer.
In the modern world, Halloween is celebrated by dressing up as fictional characters, cosplaying, and gorging on candy and pumpkin pies. However, this dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, considered a harvest festival.
Some theories suggest that the holiday of Samhain has its roots in paganism. It was believed that on Halloween, the line between the world of the living and the dead was blurred, so spirits visited their loved ones.
While some people prefer to decorate their homes and cook delicious dishes to welcome the spirits of their ancestors, they also try to scare away evil spirits by lighting bonfires and dressing up as demons and witches to avoid being recognized.
Halloween Day Meaning:
On this day, children dress up and visit other houses to trick-or-treat. People also decorate their homes with spooky themes as the main theme, dress up in pop culture references, and attend Halloween-themed parties with their friends.
