What’s the Main Purpose of Halloween?
In reality, Halloween isn’t all about fun and gathering tons of candies and playing tremendous tricks on others. The word ‘Halloween’ is actually derived from the Catholic Church. In recent eras, it was used to be known as ‘All Hallows Eve’ because some villagers believed that the people who had passed away the preceding year were to come back and possess the living for the upcoming year. But this concept was completely demolished in the 5th Century, when it was discovered that Halloween is nothing more than the Samhain- the Celtic New Year which was celebrated on October 31st.
Some of the villagers used to extinguish the fires in their homes, so that that their homes would remain cold and an undesirable place for haunted spirits to enter or stay in. They introduced number of ideas and ways so that they wouldn’t become possessed by those spirits. In later years of history, Americans, Romans and Europeans adopted many of the Celtic customs and practices as their own, and so as the Halloween.
