Good afternoon everyone.As Holloween Day is about to fall,I wanna share some interesting facts about Holloween.Before I talk about Holloween,I wanna say Thank You for like and follow my page.
There's a lot more to Holloween just than the scary stories.So let me tell you "Why do we celebrate Holloween?"
Hundreds of years ago,the Celtic people or the Celts lived in regions that are now Ireland, Britain and Northern France.This was long-long back....even before Jesus Christ.The Celts had a tradition of remembering those who had died and keeping the evil spirits peaceful.They did this every year on 31st October and it was called Samhain.But their prastics were opposed to the Christan way.
Hence,nearly seven hundred years after Christ,the Head of the Catholic Church moved an important Christan day the "All Saint's Day" to 1st November.(All Saint's Day-It is a Christan festival in honour of all the saints in heaven.Earlier it was celebrated on 1st of May)He thought everyone would forget about Samhain.But it didn't work.People didn't forget about Samhain thought it didn't spread as fast as it used to earlier.
Since November 1st was the day of celebrating the "Holy Spirits",the evening before that became the "Holy Evening" or "All Hallow Even"."Hollow" is the old word for "Holy" and "Even" is the old word for "Evening".Soon "All Hollow Even" became "Holloween"!
In fact,dressing up as spirits and ghosts became a part of the "All Saints Day" celebration because people who celebrated "Samhain" believed that wearing scary costumes would scare away the evil spirits and keep them away.
And also people carve the pumpkin and keep it outside theirhomes to ward off the evil spirits.
