Halloween Village – Halloween Fun for Everyone!
I just adore Halloween; I guess you could call me a big kid. It’s the one night of the year when I get to dress up and pretend to be somebody else. Kids go from house to house getting lots of treats and candy that they normally don’t get to eat. People tell grizzly stories about the living dead. It’s a night of fun and pranks.
Halloween started from a Celtic festival called Samhain which marked the end of summer. It is also the day of celebration for harvest. It also regarded as the Celtic New Year. The Celtics believed that on the 31st of October, the boundary between the world of the living and of those who have passed on dissolves.
When the dead returned to life they often played dirty tricks on the crops. They’ve caused illness to the living and ruined crops in entire areas. Living in fear of this happening, people would hold a bonfire and offer gifts and offerings to the spirits in the fire. These offerings would please the spirits, who would then help the Druids to make predictions about the future. People looked forward to a good prediction to help them get through the long winter months with a sense of comfort.
The name Halloween is a literal shortcut of the feast of Hallows Eve. This would be the day of the saints commemorated in the Christian world on the first day of November. In homes, enthusiasts would have their own Halloween village. This would be a diorama of a spooky village on Halloween night. It is a display of the owners imagination with regard to the things that could get you on Halloween.
The Halloween village may have vampires and ghouls. They have zombie workers. They could even have ghost trains and ghost ships. Let your imagination fly with the creation of your Halloween village.
