Halloween Black Cats Garden Decor
It’s almost time to carve out the pumpkin and find a cool, spooky costume, as it’s the countdown to Halloween.
So what is this yearly epic that kids get so hyped about as they prepare to trick-or-treat on the auspicious night of October 31st? To get a picture of how this all began, we jump in our time machine and arrive about 2000 years ago, when the ancient Celts of Ireland, France, and the United Kingdom were about to celebrate the Samhain.
‘A religious, pagan festival held for three days in honor of their yearly crop harvest and those recently deceased.’
Who would return to their homes, where gifts were bestowed to welcome them? Some folk wore animal skin costumes, and fires were lit with sacrifices to ward off anything evil. Sightings of ghosts were the norm, and elementals from other dimensions were said to appear. November 2nd became All Souls Day when local kids from poorer backgrounds would be given soul cakes by privileged families in exchange for prayers they spoke over their deceased family members.
Halloween
‘This is how trick-or-treating began, as kids altered the theme to knock on doors and receive sweets plus gifts in the name of Halloween.’
It’s always interesting how events on the calendar start and grow. Halloween is one such happening that crept into America and spread like wildfire, creating one night in the year when people play all their scary movies and seek out outfits that emulate witches, skeletons, and vampires. Anything that resembles spine-chilling, house-haunting vibes.
‘When kids hit the streets, their excitement is felt and the ancient Celtic ritual is brought to life in the 21st century and celebrated in many countries.’
The classic jack-o’-lanterns are everywhere as people dress up and embrace this sacred Celtic tradition. You can join in the fun by decorating the outdoors with these superstitious 6 black cats in various positions made of hard plastic. They come with metal stakes and stickers to make their eyes glow, adding an eerie ambiance to your Halloween experience.
