It that time of the year when we celebrate Halloween. Halloween is said to believe that it is a day the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits.

What Halloween is all about

Halloween is a popular holiday celebrated on October 31st every year. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, and the spirits of the dead returned to Earth to cause mischief. To ward off these spirits, people would dress in costumes and light bonfires.

Over time, Halloween evolved and incorporated various traditions from different cultures. Today, Halloween is primarily known for its festivities, including dressing up in costumes, trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, and visiting haunted houses. It is a fun and spooky holiday where people of all ages can enjoy dressing up as their favourite characters, indulging in sweet treats, and embracing the eerie atmosphere.

While the ancient beliefs in spirits and the supernatural are no longer the focus of Halloween, the holiday has become a joyful and entertaining occasion celebrated by people around the world”.
