A Ghoulishly Eclectic Time Of Year
The modern incarnation of Halloween has its roots in several cultural influences. The most famous would be the Gaelic harvest festival of Samhain and its eve. Another is the Christian feast of All Hallows Day. This marks the beginning of Hallowtide, the period dedicated to remembering the dead. The first signs of our beloved modern incarnation of the Holiday began with the arrival of Europeans to North America.
A good part of the fist Caucasian settlers consisted of groups, such as the Puritans, who shunned celebrations. While other groups did celebrate, it really began to take hold with the mass of Scottish immigration in the 1800’s. By the beginning of the 20th century, our beloved Halloween had reached from the Atlantic all the way to the Pacific. There are some distinct reginal variations, but things such as trick-or-treating, jack-o-lanterns, costumes, festivals, and general merriment have become ubiquitous.
