Halloween

Halloween is celebrated throughout the world. Celts started this shadowy festival and generally, it is celebrated on October 31 prior to the New Year’s Day i.e. 1st November. Halloween is celebrated with lots of mischief and misbehavior, but all out of fun. Children dress up as ghosts, pirates, and witches and wear myriad of other costumes and literally beg for candy. There are numerous Halloween symbols, ideas, decorations, recipes and resurrection that conjure up Halloween festivities and celebrations.

The historical background of Halloween dates back to the Celtic Festival called ‘Samhain’. Celtic New Year was celebrated on 1st November marking the end of summer i.e. the harvest season and beginning of the bleak, cold winter. This wintertime is often associated with the human death. During this winter dark season, Celts believed that a night before the New Year, the boundary between the world of the living and the dead became murky and foggy. Moreover, ghosts of the dead returned to earth causing damage to the crops. Besides, their presence helped the Celtic priests i.e. Druids to predict the future.
