Vintage Halloween Decorations

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also called 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] time in the liturgical year focused on remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions came from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, specially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could possibly have had pagan roots; and this Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween because of the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely 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, and also watching horror films. In many parts with the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles within the graves from 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 about this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
