Holiday customs:

Halloween is the most haunted time of the year, and all kinds of monsters, pirates, alien visitors and witches are out in succession. Before the Christian era, the Celts held a ceremony in late summer to thank God and the sun for their kindness. At that time, fortune tellers lit and practiced witchcraft to drive away monsters who were said to be wandering around.

Later, the harvest festival celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples merged with Celtic 10 and 3 1. In the Middle Ages, people put on costumes in the shape of animals and put on terrible masks to drive away ghosts in the dark. Although Christianity later replaced the religious activities of Celts and Romans, the early customs still existed.

Children wear all kinds of costumes and masks to attend the Halloween dance with a playful attitude. Witches, black cats, ghosts and bones are often hung on the walls around these dances, and grinning or disgusting pumpkin lanterns are hung on the windows and doors.
