Halloween Celebration

Halloween is celebrated on 31st October every year. The name 'Halloween' itself means 'hallowed evening'. The history of Halloween dates back to a centuries-old Celtic festival called Samhain, which was later known as Halloween. People celebrated this festival to ward off ghosts and spirits. It is believed that Halloween is the time of season change when the boundaries of the other world become thin and connect to the dead. This is where the spooky connotations of the Halloween come from. Some of the rituals of Halloween also take a share from the history. The Celts celebrated Halloween by wearing different costumes to stay away from ghosts, enjoyed special Halloween feasts and made lanterns using pumpkins. Over time, the rituals of Halloween have modernised, but the traditional celebrations remain the same. Now, people celebrate this festival as a fun and energetic occasion by enjoying various activities like trick-or-treating, jack-o'-lanterns and more.
