👻 Where Halloween came from and how it conquered the world

Let’s start with the historical basics: to understand why we trick-or-treat, dress up, carve pumpkins, and dress up in costumes on the night of October 31st.

The modern Halloween celebration has its roots in the Celtic festival Samhain, practiced by the populations of the area of ​​Ireland, Great Britain and the Isle of Man, about 2000 years ago.

Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a period considered by the Celts to be a time when the “veil” between the world of the living and the spirit world thinned. On this night ritual fires were lit, the costumes had the role of scaring the spirits.

Later, with Christianity, November 1st was dedicated to the saints («All Saints»), and the evening before -«All Saints’ Eve” – became what we call it today Halloween.

Over time, the traditions moved to North America, where the commercial component developed strongly: costumes, trick-or-treating sweets, pumpkin carving (“jack-o’-lantern”), etc.

So, what we practice today – «scary» costumes, sweets, decorations – has its origins in a combination of pagan agrarian ritual + Christianity + modern entertainment.

How Halloween is celebrated around the world

To see how this party «travels», here are some international stages.

In the United States, Canada, Australia and other Anglo-Saxon countries, the official date is October 31st. Children go trick-or-treating, people have costume parties, decorate houses, carve pumpkins («pumpkin carving»), and go to «haunted houses.»

In Europe and other areas some elements (costumes, parties) are adopted but with local differences. For example, in some countries the tradition of commemorating the deceased on November 1/2 (All Saints, All Souls) continues.

And in Romania there is a «border» between the imported Halloween celebration of October 31 and an older local tradition, November 30 (the night before St. Andrew’s Day) – sometimes considered the «Romanian Halloween» due to superstitions related to the undead, garlic and the Night of the Dead.

Concrete example in Romania: in Bucharest, on the island «Angel Island» (Lacul Morii) a Halloween party was organized with over 80,000 participants.

In Transylvania, theme parties are organized in fortresses and castles (e.g. Bran Castle, Sighişoara Citadel) which exploit the legend of vampires.

These examples show how tradition has adapted to the territory: from an agricultural rite to a modern celebration, from a spiritual element to an entertainment element.

But also Romania has its own Halloween charm, especially because the local legends about the undead and vampires fit perfectly into the spirit of this mysterious night.
