Halloween

Halloween is always celebrated on October 31st, there are a few explanations as to why – the first is that the 31st is the eve of All Saints Day, a day Christians remember and honour the dead. Secondly, it could also originate from a Druid festival called “Samhain”. This name means “summer’s end” which marked the end of the harvest festival and the arrival of Winter.

Several of the characters that we associate with Halloween, such as witches comes about due to the time of Halloween where it is considered that the veil of the spirit world and material world is at its thinnest. Witches prepare food for the living and the dead. Our Witches Brew Bundle would be ideal for any learning around this area.

At Halloween, we go out trick & treating dressed as vampires, wizards, witches, ghosts, skeletons and other ghoulish creations, this because of a tradition for impersonating the spirits, or the souls of the dead and receiving offerings on their behalf. Lastly, pumpkins were carved and lit from within to ward off evil spirits.

We’re sure that the resources that we have are the most ideal for helping to celebrate and explain all about Halloween, from our individual characters to our bundles to suit all budgets.
