WHICH
COUNTRIES
C E L E B R AT E
HALLOWEEN?
Halloween is celebrated liturgically and
popularly in countries with Christian
heritage such as Ireland, Canada, and the
United States.
Christian people consider Halloween as
a religious holiday and a tradition.

Overall theme: spooky, mysterious,


ghostly, fun
The Protestant church (one of
three major forces in
Christianity)
has opposed Halloween
celebrations in various areas
around the world.
• Even in countries with little to no Christian heritage such as Thailand,
Japan, Vietnam, Halloween is steadily becoming more popular.
• People in these countries celebrate Halloween as an entertaining festival
W H Y D O W E C E L E B R AT E
HALLOWEEN?
In the Celtic days, Britain was a Pagan country – and one of
the most important celebrations was Samhain, or the Feast
of the Dead.
W H Y D O W E C E L E B R AT E
HALLOWEEN?
• This date marked the end of the summer and
harvest in Britain, Ireland and northern
France and the beginning of winter -
associated with death.
• Celts believed that on this day, the worlds of
the living and the dead became blurred – and
ghosts returned to earth.
W H Y D O W E C E L E B R AT E H A L L O W E E N ?

But the pagans didn’t fear the dead, and


Samhain was a time for Druid prophecies.
• Build huge sacrificial bonfires
• Gather to burn crops and animal sacrifices
• Put on costumes to ward off evil spirits and
ghosts.

Other symbols: Balefires, Cauldrons, besoms


(brooms), bats, owls, ravens and the ever-present
witch and black cat, jack o’ lanterns,...
Christian officials tried to impose their own
holiday in an effort to stop their converts
from practicing non-Christian festivals.

• November 1, All Saints' Day

• November 2 became All Souls Day

• All Saints' Day--> All Hallows' Day

• October 31,All Hallows' Eve

• Shortened to "Halloween"
The holiday became the celebration when
it was brought to America

• Americans switched from turnips to pumpkins.


In 1820, Washington Irving’s short
story,The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,
• one of the first distinctly American ghost
stories centered around the holiday.
Halloween received its biggest
transformation within the last 50 or so
years, thanks to the creation of big candy
corporations, and, of course, Hollywood.
Every year, cities and towns all over the
world celebrate with festivals, parades,
and theme park events.

Halloween has become a global phenomenon
