Do you Know Halloween?

by Sheldon Yang 30 Oct 2020

This time of year, the barriers separating Heaven, Earth and Hell become permeable. The gates open up and Spirits are abroad. 

Halloween has its roots in the ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on the nights of October 31 and November 1st, marking the end of harvest and beginning of winter. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, believed that the dead returned to earth on Samhain. The word "Halloween" comes from "All Hallows' Eve" and means "hallowed evening." Hundreds of years ago, people dressed up as saints or other costumes, wore masks and went door to door asking for treats, which is the origin of Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating. 

Today we Zoom parties, share feasts at a distance and honor those living and dead who we love. In Latin America and Mexico we celebrate Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which is both a remembrance and celebration for our dearly departed. Families create ofrendas (altars) to remember those who've passed. Often decorated with bright yellow marigolds, photos of the departed and their favorite items (including food and drinks), the offerings are said to encourage visits from beyond. They're also a way families can celebrate together. Because of COVID-19, many traditional, in-person Día de los Muertos gatherings have moved online. But we can still celebrate the holiday.

 

Here are tasty ways to add cheer to the season’s typically dreary weather, and long dark nights. https://winghopfung.com/search?q=candy

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
