When the tower clock strikes midnight on October 31st, it will be scary on the streets and squares. Ghosts and vampires, creatures of the underworld, rise from their graves and populate the earth: it's Halloween.Tradition of Costumes: Creepy Halloween masks & luminous pumpkin lanterns
Even the ancient Celts celebrated Halloween, because the horror festival goes back to the Celtic funeral Samhain. Thus, the Celts believed that the gates to the world of the dead were open that night, and the dead returned to take possession of the body of a living. Therefore, they put on scary robes to deceive the spirits.That gourd lanterns shine that night too, this custom goes back to an Irishman named Jack, who angered the devil and was condemned by him to dragging around in it with a spoiled turnip and a piece of burning coal
With the advent of Christianity, All Saints and All Souls replaced the Celtic Samhain. In the 9th century, Christians gathered around the festival to gather sweets called "cake of the soul" and ask for the deceased as they received more. The tradition of costuming has lasted until today. Just like the custom of pumpkin lanterns and collecting sweets.
