10 Easy Halloween Decorating Ideas For Your Porch or Yard

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is really a celebration witnessed 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] some time in the liturgical year specialized in remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all sorts of the faithful departed.It is widely considered that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, specially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; understanding that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween because of the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as being a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or even 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, in addition to watching horror films. In many parts with the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles about the graves on the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is often 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 for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
