Halloween
🗓 October 31, 2024 📍Worldwide
As the northern hemisphere transitions from autumn to winter, people around the world gather to celebrate Halloween, carving pumpkins, dressing up in costumes and going trick-or-treating. However, the festival is more than just a day of playful antics as the rich traditions behind the occasion add a deeper layer of meaning.
Halloween traces its roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people lit bonfires and donned costumes to ward off evil spirits. Over time, these traditions merged with elements of All Saints' Day, established in the eighth century to honour the saints. The evening before, known as All Hallows' Eve, eventually evolved into what we now know as Halloween. From bonfire-lit carnivals in Dublin and vibrant parades in Mexico to themed culinary feasts and costume competitions in Dubai, Halloween promises an array of diverse and exciting experiences.
