History and Tradition: Why Halloween Decorations are so Popular
The tradition of Halloween dates back to Celtic practices where Samhain was celebrated on October 31 - the festival between summer and winter. People believed that on this night, the boundary between the world of the living and the dead was particularly thin. The typical Halloween decorations evolved from the custom of placing hollowed-out turnips with scary faces in front of houses to ward off evil spirits. With emigration to America, the turnip was replaced by the pumpkin, and new decoration elements such as ghosts, witches, and black cats were added.
Today, Halloween has become a global phenomenon, with creating Halloween decorations playing a central role. The combination of creative design and eerie atmosphere particularly captivates children and teenagers. The decorations create a magical mood and transform houses and gardens into mysterious places. This mix of tradition, creativity, and playful spookiness is what makes the festival so special and explains why Halloween decorations become more popular every year.
