“Sow-in” is a Celtic Samahins festival. Where, this day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. The e most important of these holidays to influence later Halloween customs was Samhain, a holiday observed by the ancient. the Romans adapted and absorbed some Celtic traditions as part of their own pagan and Catholic religious observances. Halloween traditions and customs are derived from the history, folklore, practices, symbols, and events associated with Halloween. Here follows the major ones of this holiday. Trick-or-treating is the most widely recognized Halloween tradition. This includes children and adult participation. Where they can wear want they want as if imitating their idols or superheroes like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White or the famous Lady Bug Costume. In Celtic times they wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
The Christian missionaries tried to obliterate this kind of Celtics Samahain beliefs. But in the end, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Since then, Halloween became the most popular event worldwide. Every country has its own rituals and tradition on how they can celebrate their Halloween traditions most memorable in every year.
