Fun And Helpful Ideas For Halloween!
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31 each year. Its history dates back to early Celtic times. The Celts were a people who lived in what is now England up until about the year 450 A.D. After being defeated by Germanic tribes at this time, they were forced to move from their homes in England to Ireland and Wales.
The term “Halloween” is a shortened version of “All Hallows Eve” and comes from the name of a month in the ancient Celtic Calendar. In the first three nights of this month a festival was held marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient Celts to take count of their supplies and slaughter any livestock ready for the long winter. It was believed that on October 31, the boundary separating the living from the dead was diminished and the dead became dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness and/or damaged crops. At the festivals a bonfire was usually created and the bones of the slaughtered livestock were thrown in. Costumes and masks were also worn to at the festivals in an attempt to pacify any evil spirits.
The colors black and orange are usually associated with Halloween, as is the Jack-o’-lantern.
Immigrants from Ireland who were relocating to North America during the Great Famine of 1846 brought versions of the Halloween tradition with them. Today in America the Halloween traditions and activities include: trick-or-treating, ghost tours, carving Jack-o’-lanterns, costume parties, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.
The Halloween season is spooky and lots of fun. You get to dress up and go to parties and eat lots of junk food.
