Is that a Holiday with a significant? Should we celebrate?
Is it just another event which was given more attention than it needed?, so candy companies can sell more candies naming “Halloween Sale” ? Pubs and hotels to organize parties to increase their incomes?
Or is it the excitement of wearing costumes and pulling pranks ?
Lets see the how the word “Halloween” formed.. All Hallows’ Evening has become “ Halloween”
1st of November is the All Saint’s Day and All Saint’s eve which is celebrated on 31st of October. However this goes back to 1900 years. It was the biggest holiday of the year in England, Ireland for two reasons. It was the Celtic celebration of the new year and people believed its the day the souls of the dead could interact with their living relatives.
They also believed supernatural entities such as demons, witches, spirits freely roamed around on earth trying to trick them to have their fun. Offering fancy food and sweets were offered to escape such such tricks. Now do you wonder why people now a days wear costumes and play “Trick or Treat” ?
Back in good old days, bonfire fire was a big aspect of this rather than the modern elements such as Jaco lanterns.
Regardless whether you should celebrate the Halloween or not, we think its fun to turn up wearing a costume and enjoy your self… All the bakeries and coffee shops are offering the pumpkin spice drinks and eatables… After Christmas, Halloween has become the most festive
holiday which added seasonal elements.. We don’t see Christmas decors and trees all year around.. we don’t bake pumpkin pie’s..
