I love this party. Although each year we hear an echo of the usual chorus: "It is a celebration of consumerism ... we always have to copy the Americans .. it is against Christian principles" .. and other similar amenities.
The modern man is afraid of death, tends to remove it .. and also halloween somehow try to exorcise it, playing with it. Halloween is the night of fear .. but then becomes a game, it dresses up, children go from house to house .. and you download the app on i-phone to learn how to carve pumpkins. I say Halloween is good because it helps to be in contact with the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath, let us not forget that as Pasolini said, is the "real life organization." Halloween, which connects with the dark side of us, not to be removed .. this must be taken.
And now some historical:
Traditions Halloween can be traced back to the times of Celts in the British Isles. The Celts were a pastoral people and celebrated the end of the harvest season (transition from summer to winter): Oct. 31 for them was the end of the year and accordingly on November 1 the beginning of a new year . On this night they held big celebrations and welcome the arrival of winter. The Celts believed that
the night of October 31st the spirits of those who died during the year we will be looking for a cover you have for the coming year . I did not want to live in the moment But being possessed by these spirits and then tried to turn their homes into places unwelcoming and transform their bodies with frightening disguises to scare away the spirits who wanted to own them.
The Halloween party was brought in the U.S. around 1840 by Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine that struck their homeland. Since then, Halloween has been rooted in American culture and is one of the most famous festivals in the country.
