The Best Halloween Decorations
It’s that time of year again, when the spookiest Halloween fun is about to begin. But first, let's delve into what Halloween is all about and why it's celebrated.
Halloween: A Mesmerising Celebration
Halloween is celebrated for a multitude of reasons, each with its own allure:
-
Honouring the Departed: Across various cultures, Halloween is a poignant time to remember and pay respects to the deceased. It's believed that on Halloween night, the spirits of the departed return to the world. People observe this by visiting graves, lighting candles, or holding solemn memorial services.
-
Warding Off Malevolence: In some cultures, Halloween is a time when malevolent spirits are thought to be more active. To keep them at bay, people don costumes, carve jack-o'-lanterns, and kindle bonfires.
-
Embracing the Spooky Season: For many, Halloween is simply an opportunity for enjoyment amidst the eerie ambiance. Dressing up in costumes, going trick-or-treating, or partaking in Halloween parties are all ways to relish the season.
-
Harvest Celebrations: In several cultures, Halloween marks the culmination of the harvest season. It's a time to savour traditional harvest foods such as pumpkins, apples, and corn.
Halloween traces its origins back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when the boundary between the realms of the living and the dead was believed to blur. The Celts celebrated Samhain with costumes, bonfires, and ghostly tales.
