“There is magic in the night when the pumpkins glow by midnight.”

‘Spooktober’ is the word describing the month of October. 31st October is widely celebrated as Halloween, where the little children go around the neighbourhood, yelling “Trick or Treat!!”

The darkest secrets behind the history of this spooky festival are better left unsaid unless you’re fierce to unveil them…. Started as the ‘day of the dead’ in the United States of America, Halloween is now celebrated worldwide, just for fun. Children and adults equally enjoy the tradition of pumpkin carving and indulge in spooky decorations. You’ll need Spider webs, werewolves, ghosts, and scary pumpkin for the décor, some candies for the kids, and a whole set of Halloween movie marathons, and you’re ready for Halloween.

HALLOWEEN AROUND THE WORLD

Halloween is still widely celebrated today in a number of countries around the globe.

In countries like Ireland, Canada and the United States, halloween customs include costume dress up and parties, trick-or-treating, scary pranks, and games. More or less very similar activities are done elsewhere in the world.

In Mexico and other Latin American countries, they celebrate the Day of the Dead, also known as ‘Día de Los Muertos’. It honors deceased loved ones and ancestors of the family.

In England, it is not known as Halloween, rather the festival famous as ‘Guy Fawkes Day’, which falls on November 5, and is celebrated with bonfires and fireworks.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated throughout Hong Kong and China for a whole month, starting from the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar.

Halloween is thought to have developed from the Celtic occasion Samhain; the Celtic New Years’ Eve celebrated on October 31. It is as yet celebrated in parts of the UK, for example, Scotland, just as parts of Ireland, and includes fortune-telling and lighting campfires.

Zaduszki — the Polish word for All Souls’ Day — is commended on November 1. Families place lamps, wreaths, and little endowments on the graves of their family members in a serious festival.

As mentioned above, there are different ways of celebrating the same festival.

Faridabad Schools are at par when it comes to Halloween celebrations. Modern School in Faridabad celebrates Halloween with a full spirit (pun intended) and encourages students to indulge in fun activities. It is the Top School in Faridabad having celebrated the festival online this year, through the virtual platform. All the students of the kindergarten wing dressed up as cute, little fairies, ghosts, witches, spiders, and other scary characters. A full feisty ramp walk was like the cherry on top.

One of the Top Schools in Faridabad, Modern school recognizes the importance of celebration and introduction of international festivals. The school believes that children will incorporate and understand the significance of festivals all around the globe. This adds up to the teaching methodology, that children will grow up to respect the customs and traditions of different cultures.

Moreover, parents also enjoy dressing up with their children, and bond more with them in such activities. Children are more likely to enjoy it with great zeal and enthusiasm. As such festivals aren’t widely recognized or celebrated in India, it is a new venture as a school to promote such a connection between Indian students in collaboration with the western, international students.

Halloween, the spooky traditional English Holiday is a great deal for school as well as college students who celebrate this day with full zeal, and enthusiasm. The day’s not far when we might even see children go trick or treating in our own societies
