What is the origin of Halloween, or Allhalween? Is there Islam?

Halloween is celebrated today, October 31, in many different parts of the world. Many people disguise themselves in a scary or sad way, writes Periscope.

The word is related to Christian origin, and it means the night of the saints [All Hallows].

Modern Halloween traditions are thought to have come from Celtic countries, while they are believed to have pagan roots. Jack Santino, a folklore player, believes there have been traces of pre-Christian religions in Ireland that have influenced this tradition. Another folklore player has said that its roots are of the Roman Empire.

The 10 main symbols of Halloween are: Corn and wheat, orange and black, spiders, bats, black cats, skeletons, ghosts, masks, costumes, and witches.

There are various versions of Halloween traditions, but the real origin is found at the ancient Celt Festival known as Samhain.

In ancient Scotland it was thought to be the night of October 31, when there was no longer any limit between the world of the living and the dead.

Legend has it that souls who had died during that year gathered together to blend in with the world of the living and then set out on the road to another world.

On the final night of the autumn harvest, the world differs from the warmth of the summer sun to the dark cold of winter, the land from fertile to barren.

The ancient Celts believed that this transition gave supernatural forms a chance to break through the world of the living and their diabolic destruction to flourish.

In the United States, US President Barack Obama and the first lady, Michele Obama for years, have arranged waiting with home sweets cooked by the presidential kitchen chief.

The White House was filled with pumpkins, vampires and evil spirits, spider nets, and other symbols of the party. Halloween is a $7 billion industry in the United States and ranks as the second after Christmas.

While in Albania and Kosovo, “Night of Witches”, it has begun to be celebrated during the 1990s.
