Halloween is finally around the corner! Although not everyone will celebrate Halloween, we can still hold a small Halloween party or have a Team Building with our colleagues.
Let’s learn more about Halloween and see what can we do to celebrate Halloween!
The Origin of Halloween
Halloween has different versions, but the “All Hallows’ Day” version is the most popular.
It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, the Catholic Church in Europe designated November 1 as “Saints Day”, and “hallow” means “saint”. Since 500 BC, the Celtic people who were from the Ireland and Scotland regions, believed that the dead would return to the world to look for people and resurrect again on October 31. So, people will place fires and candles on this day, so that the dead cannot find the living. They also dressed up as demons or ghosts to frighten the dead away. That is also a reason why we celebrate Halloween in all kinds of weird and funny costumes.
