Halloween Costume History and Facts 2024

The Celts, who lived lived hundreds of years ago in what is now Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and northern France began the tradition of Halloween.. The Celtic people, around 800 B.C., celebrated the final harvest of the year called Samhain (pronounced sow-en). It was also the ancient Celtic New Year. Samhain, which translates to "end of summer," usually occurred around the end of October, when the weather started to get cold in Ireland and Scotland. The festival lasted for 3 days. Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals representing various gods of nature.

Then the Catholic Church, which celebrated All Saint's Day for many centuries co-opted the holiday. Young men were now instructed to go door to door begging for food for the town poor. Villagers were allowed to dress up in costume to represent a saint. Now, instead of dressing up to chase away evil spirits, and celebrating pagan beliefs, they were dressed up to honor the saints.

After the American Revolution, Halloween still never really caught on in America. Most of the country was farmland, and the people too far spread out to share different celebrations from Europe. Any chance to get together was looked forward to - barn raisings, quilting bees, taffy pulls. Eventually, a fall holiday called the Autumn Play Party developed. People would gather and tell ghost stories, dance and sing and feast and light bonfires. The children would stage a school pageant where they paraded in costumes.

Today, Halloween is once again being celebrated as an adult holiday or masquerade, like Mardi Gras. Men and women in every disguise imaginable are now participating in parades. Many parents decorate their homes and yards, dress in costume, hand out candy at their door or go with their children as they collect candy.

And despite its origins, today it has nothing to do with evil, devil worship, satanic forces, etc. It's just good clean fun!
