Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, is celebrated on October 31st every year. It originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Here are some fun facts about Halloween:
1. Jack-o'-lanterns: Carving pumpkins into scary faces and placing a candle inside is a popular Halloween tradition. This tradition was inspired by the Irish myth of Stingy Jack, who was doomed to wander with a lantern after playing tricks on the devil.
2. Costumes: Dressing up in costumes is one of the most exciting parts of Halloween. People often dress as spooky creatures like ghosts, witches, vampires, or superheroes.
3. Trick-or-treating: Children go door-to-door in their costumes, saying "Trick or Treat!" to receive candy from neighbors. This tradition has its roots in the custom of giving out treats to appease wandering spirits during Samhain.
4. Haunted houses: Temporary haunted houses are set up during Halloween, offering frightful experiences for those who dare to enter. These houses are filled with spooky decorations, eerie sounds, and actors dressed as monsters.
5. Bobbing for apples: Bobbing for apples is a traditional Halloween game where participants try to bite and catch apples floating in a water-filled tub. It's said that the first person to bite an apple would be the next one to get married.
Remember to have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the festivities on Halloween! Happy Halloween!
