The History of Halloween
The history of Halloween dates back thousands of years in the Celtic celebration of Samhain. This celebration was a festival that marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of a year. This day has adopted the goolish theme of zombies, ghosts, and spooky decorations due to the time when this day fell on a time where the connection between the dead and living grew thin, allowing for some to feel as though they were communicating with the dead.
Throughout the years, this day became more of a celebration of fun, candy, live music, dances, performance, and let’s not forget all of the scary movies that keep us on our toes. So are you ready to continue to celebrate Halloween in paradise? Don’t forget to pack your costume before you travel!
