Halloween occurs on October 31st. The night is celebrated for it brings a change in weather as fall transitions to winter, and nights begin to grow darker. It has come to be a blending of many cultures and traditions within various religions, now to have spread worldwide to be an overall celebration and festivity. It includes costumes scary or macabre, trick-or-treating, and decorating the pumpkin.
Halloween originated more than 2000 years ago and was initially observed as the Celtic festival ‘Samhain’. In Ireland, Scotland and other British Isles, it marked the end of harvest and the start of winter. According to the Celts, on this night, the souls of the dead returned to earth. People used to light bonfires and offer sacrifices to appease the spirits.
When Christianity spread, this ancient festival coincided with the Christian ‘All Saints Day’ (November 1). Gradually the form of this festival changed and its name was shortened from ‘All Hallows Eve’ to ‘Halloween’.
Halloween is a good festival in particular in the US. It is enjoyed throughout the country. Pumpkins are used to decorate houses, streets, and lanes while scary lights, and frightful decorations illuminate them at night. The schools, as well as community centers, host various events especially during this period. All these activities and events form part of an organized get-together, listening to scary stories and watching scary movies. For the kids ‘trick-or-treat’ is what this festival has in store for them.
Halloween is not just a festival for enjoyment and merry-making. It marks the cycle of life and death and brings us closer to the idea that our existence has its limitations. It reminds us that life is short, and it is the time to recall those family members who are no longer living with us.
