Halloween, celebrated on October 31, has evolved from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain into a global event where people of all ages engage in activities like trick-or-treating, costume parties, and haunted houses, enjoying a night of fun, scares, and sweet treats.
Halloween is almost here and it’s that time of the year when the sounds of ‘trick or treat’ reverberate through the streets as children transform into spooky characters, and scary creatures, collecting candies and other treats from known and unknown people. The time to munch on delicious treats, sweet delights and dress up in spooky costumes, Halloween over the years has been upping its fun factor, appealing to people of all ages and cultures.
Halloween is celebrated every year on October 31. It is the modern-day version of ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. Celebrated as the harvest season, Samhain marked the beginning of winter. It was also the day when people paid a tribute to their dead, leaving food at their doorsteps.
Halloween celebrations, today, in its present form cut across age groups, cultures, and countries, bringing together people of all backgrounds to revel in the spirit of the festival. People dress up in spooky costumes, enjoy good food, take part in theme parties and have a night of fun and frolic.
For the uninitiated, the trick or treating, that evolved from the medieval practice of giving ‘soul cakes’ to the poor, has become the most signature Halloween activity, that kids and teenagers love to take part in. For adults, it’s mostly costume parties, haunted houses, and pumpkin-spiced treats.
