Creative Halloween 101：Make Halloween More Exciting

Halloween is one of the most awaited and celebrated holiday for the Christians and it comes just second in popularity to Christmas. Millions of people indulge in celebrating, treating and merry making in the festive season, but very few are aware of the history and the true origins of Halloween. The facts and legends about Halloween are as interesting and captivating as the holiday is itself.
If you love the holiday season and fun that Halloween brings along with it, then it is necessary that you understand the true and real origins of the occasion. The original history of this festive occasion traces its roots on the 31st of October, which is known as Celtic calendars last day. Originally, it was celebrated as a pagan holiday with the purpose of honouring the dead.
Halloween is actually referred to as All Hallows Eve, and it has a rich history which dates back to more than 2000 years. All Hallows Eve is the evening just before All Saints Day and it is celebrated by Christians throughout the world to mark the conversion of pagans. It is celebrated on the 1st of November, because the Catholic Church
made the honour to the saints on this day.

Many people think that Halloween is a devil worshipping holiday celebrated by people who dont believe in God, but the truth is that Halloween really has its basic origins in the Catholic Church. Halloween means All Saints Eve or All Hallows Eve.
All Saints Day is a religious holiday observed by the Catholic Church and set aside for worship of all the saints in heaven. They used to consider it with all solemnity as one of the most significant observances of the Church year
The American origin of Halloween extends further from the Celts celebration of Samhain (pronounced sow in) which is a Druidic festival made to celebrate the end of the harvest. As with a lot of Celtic lore, faeries were thought to be extremely active at this time as they ushered in the winter.
Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrate Samhain. It was on this day that they believe the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth causing trouble and damaging crops.
Celts felts that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids Celtic priests to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the natural world, which could be quite volatile, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winger.
During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes typically consisting of animal heads and skins
and they tried to tell each others fortunes. They would build huge sacred bonfires where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.
When the celebration was over, they re-lit the fires in their hearths which they had put out earlier that evening. The fires would be re-lit with flame from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
