The origins of All Hallows’ Eve can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when it was believed that the souls of the dead returned to their homes on Halloween hence, people dressed up in spooky costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits. The Celtics were a people that came 2000 years ago, and their celebration of Halloween was centred around the end of the harvest season and beginning of the cold winter months.
While some believe that this festival might be rooted in paganism, others refer to it as an old-fashioned way of saying "the night before All Saints' Day" since it falls on a day before All Saints' Day. However, the traditions surrounding this festival have evolved over the years and is now known as the occasion to dress-up, cosplay as pop-culture references and stuff ourselves with candy while sticking to the spooky, ghostly atmosphere we know and love today.
As we gear up for Halloween 2021 on October 31st, here are some trick or treat recipes for you to binge on along with family and friends.
