Astronaut Costume

If your child is fond of space and dreams of becoming an astronaut, you could make their dream come true with this Halloween costume.

Traditions of Halloween

People worldwide commemorate Halloween, accompanied by numerous traditions we all know and enjoy. But did you know that the majority of Samhain traditions are traditionally Irish? Let’s examine a few of the most renowned ones.

Bonfires

The Celts believed spirits could walk the earth on Halloween, so large bonfires were lit to ward off evil spirits. The bonfire ashes were spread across fields to ward off bad luck.

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins for Halloween is an Irish tradition, from carving faces into turnips. The turnips were left outside homes to scare off evil spirits. Traditionally, turnips are harvested from the beginning of autumn until Halloween. These turnips would be carved with faces and placed outside their dwellings to ward off evil spirits.

Costumes

Dressing up in costume on Halloween comes from a Celtic tradition of disguising oneself as a countermeasure to hide from spirits and avoid being kidnapped. Wearing a mask or covering oneself in a bedsheet was believed of tricking the spirits.

Trick or Treat

Trick-or-treating began as “souling,” where children would go door-to-door singing for food. The tradition later evolved into trick-or-treat where children would ask for candy.

Telling the Future

Halloween was believed to be the best time to tell fortunes, and one common practice was to bake a Barmbrack with a ring or coin inside to predict marriage or good fortune. Whoever finds the ring will marry in the coming year, and whoever finds the coin will have good luck.
