Halloween History
History In Case You Were Wondering!
Check out the New Arrivals at CostumeDiscounters.comHalloween costumes are all the rage from newborns to senior citizens, but why do we wear them and how did the tradition get its start?
One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.
Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.
Isn't it great how something so creepy turned out to be so much fun!
