50 Easy DIY Outdoor Halloween Decoration Ideas for 2017

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 seen in several countries on 31 October, the eve from the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] any time in the liturgical year focused on remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and many types of the faithful departed.It is widely considered that many Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, especially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals could have had pagan roots; understanding 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 (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 within 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 from the eating of certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
