Today,
Halloween is primarily a children's holiday celebrated on October 31. It is a day full of parties, of dressing up in costumes and
going door to door in neighborhoods collecting candy (called trick-or
treating which means "Give me a treat or I'll play a trick on you").
Houses are often decorated with pumpkins carved into Jack-O-Lanterns,
with the Halloween enthusiasts adding corn stalks, bales of hay, spooky
music, dry ice, cob webs, and even statues of ghosts, crows, bats,
witches, and tombstones.
Halloween has its roots in
ancient times, attached mainly to the Celtic festival (Samhain), which
was celebrated on November 1. This festival marked the end of summer and
the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was also the Festival
of the Dead, and on the eve of Samhain (October 31) the Celtics believed
the spirits of the dead returned to earth and caused havoc while
they traveled to the Land of the Dead. The Celtics would dress in
costumes to disguise themselves from the spirits and bonfires were lit
so food and animals could be sacrificed. On this day it was also
believed that Celtic priests had the power to read the future and to cast
spells.
