Halloween Magic at Pendlay's Love

The Spooky History of Halloween

Halloween, a holiday that has become synonymous with spooky decorations, costumes, and trick-or-treating, has a rich history that dates back to the early Celtic festival of Samhain. This ancient celebration marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, which was believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead became thin.

The Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off any malevolent spirits that might be roaming the earth on this night. The Roman Empire later adopted these traditions and merged them with their own festivals, creating a unique blend of cultures and customs.

The Evolution of Halloween Traditions

As Christianity spread throughout Europe, the early Christian church attempted to eliminate the pagan traditions associated with Samhain. However, many of these customs persisted, and eventually, the Catholic Church established All Saints' Eve (later known as All Hallows' Eve) on October 31st.

Despite this, the old traditions continued to evolve, incorporating elements from European folklore and mythology. The celebration became more widespread and commercialized, with the introduction of trick-or-treating, haunted houses, and other modern practices.
