11 Awesome Outdoor Halloween Decoration Ideas

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is usually a celebration seen 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 belief that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals might have had pagan roots; understanding that 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, 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 from 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 about this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
