Halloween

What is 🎃Halloween based on?

The history of Halloween - how it all started. Halloween
began as the festival of Samhain. It was part of the ancient
Celtic religion in Britain and other parts of Europe. At the end
of summer, the Celts thought the barrier between our world
and the world of ghosts and spirits got really thin.

 Hansen: The practices of Halloween mostly come
from Celtic paganism in the British Isles, and their
feast of Samhain, the new year. They believed it was
the time when ghosts and spirits came out to haunt,
and the Celts would appease the spirits by giving them
treats.

 Halloween is the evening before the Christian holy
days of All Hallows' Day (also known as All Saints' or
Hallowmas) on 1 November and All Souls' Day on 2
November, thus giving the holiday on 31 October the
full name of All Hallows' Eve (meaning the evening
before All Hallows' Day)

 Halloween has its roots in the ancient, pre-Christian
Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on
the night of October 31. The Celts, who lived 2,000
years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United
Kingdom and northern France, believed that the dead
returned to earth on Samhain.

 Many Americans celebrate the traditions
of Halloween by dressing in costumes and telling tales
of witches and ghosts. Pumpkins are carved into
glowering jack-o'-lanterns. Children parade from house
to house, knocking on doors and calling out "Trick or
treat!" hoping to have their bags filled with candy.

 All Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is
the day before All Hallows' Day, also known
as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. The
Church traditionally held a vigil on All
Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare
themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast
day itself.

 In Ireland, where Halloween originated, the day is still
celebrated much as it is in the United States. In rural
areas, bonfires are lit as they were in the days of
the Celts, and all over the country, children get
dressed up in costumes and spend the evening “trick-
or-treating” in their neighborhoods.

 In Christian times, it became a celebration of the
evening before All Saints' Day. Immigrants from
Scotland and Ireland brought the holiday to the United
States. The commercialization of Halloween started in
the 1900s, when postcards and die-cut paper
decorations were produced.

 Tags: The observance of Halloween, which dates back
to Celtic rituals thousands of years ago, has long been
associated with images of witches, ghosts, devils and
hobgoblins. In the United States ,
the first official citywide Halloween celebration
occurred in Anoka , Minn. , in 1921.

 Halloween is a celebration on the night of October
31st. It is most practiced in the United States and
Canada. ... For Christians it is the eve of All Hallows'
Day, which begins the three-day observance of
Allhallowtide. All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast
influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, and pagan
roots.

 All Saints' Day is a celebration of all Christian saints,
particularly those who have no special feast days of
their own, in many Roman Catholic, Anglican and
Protestant churches. In many western churches it is
annually held November 1 and in many eastern
churches it is celebrated on the first Sunday after
Pentecost.

 This day was formerly known as All Hallowmas,
hallow meaning to sanctify, or make holy. All Saints'
Day is known in England as All Hallows' Day. The
evening before, October 31, is known as All Hallows'
Eve, the origin of the American word Halloween!

 Halloween is a 1978 American independent slasher
film directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written
with producer Debra Hill, and starring Donald
Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. The
film was the first installment in what has become the
 Halloween franchise.

 Children in costumes travel from house to house
asking for treats such as candy (or, in some cultures,
money) with the phrase "Trick or treat". The "trick" is
a (usually idle) threat to perform mischief on the
homeowners or their property if no treat is given to
them.

 Labor Day is a United States federal holiday which is
observed on the first Monday in September each year.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the
second Monday in October each
year. Halloween originated as a celebration connected
with evil spirits.

 The town of St. Helens in Oregon has a month-long
"Halloween town" celebration every October. 🎃 Parts
of Halloween town were filmed in St. Helens in 1998.
The city is located 40 minutes outside Portland, and it
was also the location where some parts of Twilight
were filmed.

 Halloween as it is currently celebrated with costumes,
trick or treat, and superstitions, takes from this Druid
Holiday. Halloween was called Hallow E'en in Ireland.
Halloween evolved from "All Hollows" Eve.
It originated from the pagan holiday honoring the
dead.

 "The original practices of Halloween are believed to
derive from pre-Christian Celtic seasonal celebrations
usually known as Samhain," a holiday still celebrated
by Pagan and Wiccan practitioners today, Stephen
said.

 All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows' Day,
Hallowmas, Feast of All Saints, or Solemnity of All
Saints, is a Christian festival celebrated in honor
of all the saints, known and unknown.

 Since the 800's November 1st is a
religious holiday known as All Saints' Day. The Mass
that was said on this day was called All Hallowmas.
The evening before became known as All Hallow e'en,
or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations,
its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian
customs.

 Halloween can be traced back more than 2,000 years
to a Celtic festival known as Samhain (SAH-wen) that
celebrated the end of the summer harvest season. The
ancient Celts lived in Northern Europe, especially
Ireland, Britain, and France. (The “C” in Celtic is
pronounced with a “K” sound.)

 As for modern Halloween, Santino, writing in
"American Folklore: An Encyclopedia" (Garland, 1996),
noted that "Halloween beliefs and customs were
brought to North America with the
earliest Irish immigrants, then by the great waves
of Irish immigrants fleeing the famines of the first half
of the nineteenth century.
