Now that the hustle and bustle of the start of the school year is well over... I'm already looking forward to Halloween...

Falling my creativity on pumpkins and making it into a blissful pumpkin soup is already on my schedule... but of course much more creative and creepy can be made...

Halloween is a celebration that has been and is still celebrated mainly in the UK, Canada, the UK and Ireland. All Hallows Eve (All Saints' Night) is celebrated on October 31, the day for All Saints.

Celtic traditionSamhain was not only the celebration of the last harvest and the celebration of the closing of the old year and the start of the new year that, according to the Celtic calendar, starts on November 1, but also on this day they drove out the evil spirits who wanted to take a body again. By wearing masks, the Celts kept these evil spirits at bay. Later, the Romans mixed their traditional harvest feasts with the original Samhain and also honored their dead.All Saints. In the ninth century there was also an admixture with the Christian faith that on November 2All SoulsFourth, when Christians dressed in rags went round from door to door and promised in exchange for soul bread (bread with currants) a prayer to speed up the taking of the dead into heaven. Probably the trick or treat trip is based on this. It was not until the nineteenth century that the Jack-O'lantern (the hollowed out pumpkin with a light) appeared in the USA during this feast.
