25 DIY Halloween Decorations Ideas For This Year MagMent
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also referred to as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is really a celebration noticed in several countries on 31 October, the eve on the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] time in the liturgical year devoted to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and many types of the faithful departed.It is widely thought that many Halloween traditions descends from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; knowning that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween through the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely being a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (and the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, along with watching horror films. In many parts with the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles around the graves on the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is really a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected within the eating of certain vegetarian foods with this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
