| Halloween Holiday |
Here is information about the evolution of Halloween holiday in America. Read about Halloween 2008 festival celebrations.
Originated as the Celtic New Year festival of
Samhain, Halloween is the day when it is believed that it is the day
when the evil spirits such as vampires, ghosts and witches come to Earth
and terrify people. Celtic people used to paint their faces and wear
terrifying costumes to scare off these evil spirits. The tradition has
continued to the day in the form of 'trick-or-treat' when children and
even adults dress up as witches and ghosts, pirates and other costumes
and go in groups from home to home. They get candies and apples as treat
and those who dare not to entertain them, gets the blunt end of the
stick and pranks and tricks are played on them. It's the day of the
devil and the time to unleash the monster within.
A corrupted version of Romans' 'All Hallows Eve' during which they used
to honor their saints, 'Halloween' is one of the most popular and
beloved festivals of the world today, especially among children. Here,
we are presenting you with the history of Halloween, interesting customs
