HALLOWEEN HOLIDAY

Originated as the Celtic New Year festival of Samhain, Halloween is the day when it is believed that it is the day when the evil spirits such as vampires, ghosts and witches come to Earth and terrify people. Celtic people used to paint their faces and wear terrifying costumes to scare off these evil spirits. The tradition has continued to the day in the form of 'trick-or-treat' when children and even adults dress up as witches and ghosts, pirates and other costumes and go in groups from home to home. They get candies and apples as treat and those who dare not to entertain them, gets the blunt end of the stick and pranks and tricks are played on them. It's the day of the devil and the time to unleash the monster within.
