📜 Unveiling the Ancient Roots of Halloween
Halloween, celebrated on the 31st of October, can trace its roots back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced 'sow-in’). The Celts, who lived in the area which is now Ireland, marked their new year on November 1st, signifying the end of summer and harvest and ushering in a dark, cold winter, often associated with death.
🔥 Samhain: The Night When the Boundaries Blur
On the night of October 31st, the Celts believed that the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead were blurred. They celebrated Samhain, wherein it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth, causing trouble but also enabling the Druids (Celtic priests) to predict the future.
🎭 From Ancient Rituals to Modern Festivities
With time, these ancient traditions evolved and intermingled with others. The Roman conquests and Christian influences morphed Samhain into a celebration resembling today’s Halloween. Let's delve into the video and uncover how pumpkins, costumes, and ‘trick or treating’ became integral parts of this spooky festival!
