During these dates in which streets, houses and shop windows are decorated with pumpkins, candles and skulls it is impossible to not dedicate the post of this month to Halloween, one of the most popular and awaited celebrations particularly in Anglo-Saxon regions.
The origin of this tradition has pagan roots. In those ages it was a festivity which indicated the beginning of the known as ‘dark season’. On Samhain night, the Celtic New Year, spirits arrived from the world beyond. This is why it is traditional to dress up and wear terrifying masks. The goal: scaring evil spirits in order to send them back to the beyond.
