Exploring the Traditions of Halloween: A Journey Through Time & BON TON Goods' Halloween Collection
Halloween, with its eerie charm and whimsical mystique, has a rich history rooted in ancient traditions. Originating from the Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on October 31st, it marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter—a time when the boundary between the living and the dead was believed to blur. People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts, and over centuries, these customs evolved, blending with Christian and Roman influences to become the Halloween we know today.
By the 19th century, the holiday transformed in America, embracing a more community-oriented spirit. Trick-or-treating emerged, with children donning spooky costumes to collect sweets, while the custom of carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns grew into a widespread activity. Symbolism of ghosts, witches, and mythical creatures infused Halloween with its iconic supernatural feel, while elements like black cats and bats became enduring emblems of the season.
As Halloween grew in popularity, it also became a celebration of creativity and personal expression. Modern festivities are a mix of the spooky and the stylish, with decorations, costumes, and themed accessories playing a central role in creating the right atmosphere.
