11 Awesome Outdoor Halloween Decoration Ideas

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also called Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, can be a celebration noticed in several countries on 31 October, the eve in the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] some time in the liturgical year committed to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all of the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions descends from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; which 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, together with watching horror films. In many parts on the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles about the graves in the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it can be a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected from the eating of certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
