Halloween. Is it a win?
Tumblr media
This is for awareness and just a little bit of good read. Not intended to be a downer:
Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain1. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 11. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death1.
Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred1. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth1. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities1. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes1.
In terms of biblical connections, there are no direct references to Halloween in the Bible2. Some Christians believe that participating in Halloween is a form of involvement in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness, which is forbidden in Scripture: Ephesians 5:7-152. However, others consider modern-day Halloween activities to be harmless fun2. The Bible is actually completely silent on Halloween since it did not exist during the time when the books of the Bible were written3.
It’s important to note that while some people have connected Halloween to earlier pagan celebrations of the new year, Halloween actually has significant Catholic roots. The name itself comes from All Hallow’s Eve – that is, the Vigil of All Saints’ Day, when Catholics remember those who have gone before us to enter our heavenly home.
Halloween has been around for more than a thousand years1. Originally a religious observance, it became increasingly secular over the centuries until its religious trappings all but disappeared1. Today, Halloween is considered a holiday for dress-up and fun, especially for children1.
The custom of trick-or-treating, in which children dress up in costume and solicit treats from neighbors, became popular in the United States in the early 20th century as Irish and Scottish communities revived the Old World custom of “guising,” in which a person would dress in costume and tell a joke, recite a poem, or perform some other trick in exchange for a piece of fruit or other treat1. By 1950, trick-or-treating for candy had become one of Halloween’s most popular activities1. Today, Halloween is one of the biggest holidays for candy sales in the United States, estimated to be more than $3 billion1.
While Halloween may not have direct biblical connections, it has evolved into a community-centered holiday. It encourages creativity through costumes and decorations, brings neighborhoods together through trick-or-treating and parties, and is seen as a fun way to celebrate the fall season. It’s important to note that how one chooses to celebrate Halloween is often a personal decision based on their own beliefs and traditions.
