Every year, on October 31, the world is enveloped in an atmosphere of mystery and fun, because Halloween Eve is coming. This holiday, the origin of which dates back several centuries, mixes elements of magic, mysticism and joy. Let's dive into the world of Halloween and learn more about how it is celebrated.

Origin of Halloween

Halloween, like many other holidays, has its roots in old pagan rituals. It is linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter. For the ancient Celts, this was a time when the lines between the world of the living and the spirit world became especially thin. Therefore, Halloween includes elements associated with spirits and the otherworld.

Halloween traditions

One of the most famous Halloween traditions is dressing up in costumes. People, especially children, try on a variety of outfits, whether they are vampires, ghosts, witches or superheroes, and go door to door to ask for candy (otherwise known as "Halloween trick-or-treating").

Decorations play an important role, too. Pumpkins with carved faces, candles, lanterns and cobwebs create an atmosphere of mystery.

Many also throw parties where you can have fun, dance and enjoy scary stories. Halloween is a time for jokes and pranks, as fear and laughter go hand in hand.

Magic and Mysticism

Halloween is also associated with magic and mysticism. The night falls early, and this creates the right atmosphere for various rituals and fortune-telling. Many people believe that Halloween night is particularly magical, and therefore it is a time to make wishes and predictions.

Overall, Halloween is a holiday that allows us to remember the magic and enchantment in everyday life. It brings joy and an opportunity to relax from worries, plunging into the world of fun and mysticism. Let's celebrate this wonderful holiday cheerfully and with an open heart!
