Why do we celebrate Halloween?

The moment we come across the word “Halloween”, we start imagining all sorts of spooky and scary elements. 

Halloween is celebrated with a lot of zeal and vigour across many countries of the world. But, why is it so that Halloween celebrations are accompanied by wearing weird, ghostly costumes?  And that people talk of witches, ghosts and haunted houses? (Creepy, isn’t it?)

Well, we’ll tell you why.

31st October, All Hallow’s Eve or All Saints’ eve later came to be popularly known as Halloween. All Saints’ Day is celebrated on 1st November. 

Halloween commemorates the death of saints, martyrs, etc. The day honors the people who went to Heaven. People light bonfires and wear scary costumes in order to ward off ghosts and evil souls. It is believed that the reason why people wear masks or blacken their faces is to stay unnoticed by ghosts. 

Yet today, Halloween has become a big event that includes spooky attires, playing games and talking about ghostly things just to have fun.
