Happy halloween
This year people will be celebrating Halloween amid the coronavirus pandemic therefore they are advised to limit the celebration to their homes and avoid mass gatherings to avoid the spread of virus. You can spend time with family watching horror film or do face time with friends and family wearing Halloween clothes.
With the winter season approaching, people put lights and candles to bring warmth into the atmosphere. People set bonfires on hilltops to frighten away evil spirits and also to give acknowledgment to the good spirits. Halloween became one of the principal US holidays, particularly among children, however, in India, there is no public holiday for the event. Since, it falling along with Valmiki Jayanti and Sharad Purnima this year, some organisations can give a day off
The history of Halloween goes back more than 2,000 years. As per Britannica, "The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls’ Day." In European countries and America, Halloween is an ancient Celtic festival celebrated on the last day of harvest. In some countries, Halloween marks the year ends and the New Year is believed to begin.
In Samhain, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to fend off ghosts.
