The story of Halloween for children and not so children
The history of Halloween for children and not so children is generally unknown, although it has become a very popular holiday around the world due to the importance that this celebration has in the United States. But… Where does this party come from?
The Halloween story for children: The Origin.
What many people don’t know is that Halloween is a celebration of Celtic origin which is about 3,000 years old. It emerged in northern Europe, specifically in Ireland, although it was also celebrated in other countries such as present-day England, Scotland, France or Spain, mainly in Galicia.
The inhabitants of the different towns of the Celtic culture celebrated a festival called “Samhain”, which means “the end of the harvest”. They did it on October 31, because for them, that day began winter and also a new year. They were also convinced that that night the spirits of their ancestors returned to their old homes, so that night they put candles in the windows and left food at the entrance of their houses.
But this was many centuries ago! As time went by, this tradition mixed with other beliefs, other religions, other customs… until it became the fun festival that it is today.
How did it become such a popular holiday?
In the XIX century many Irish emigrated to the United States and they took with them this tradition, which the American people liked very much. At the beginning of the 20th century the holiday began to spread throughout the nation and they began to call it Halloween. Years later, it made the leap to other countries in the world thanks largely to cinema, since everything from Halloween movies for children to films with more terrifying content for adults were made. In recent years, the media, television series, etc., have made Halloween a special day on the calendars of many of us.
Nowadays this festival is especially popular with children, who enjoy dressing up as ghosts, skeletons, witches and many other terrifying costumes. The houses are decorated with pumpkins on which grotesque faces are carved and sometimes they are emptied to insert a candle into them, giving them an even more terrifying appearance.
In addition to being able to turn into monsters for a few hours, what the little ones like most is to knock on their neighbors’ doors saying “Trick or treat” and asking for candy. The deal is that if they give them candy, they sing a song, and if not, they scare them or play a joke on them. It is also very typical to dedicate Halloween night to telling scary stories, watching terrifying movies and going to parties where the decoration is based on candelabras, bats and cobwebs.
