Halloween Day Quotes 2014

Halloween Day Quote 1
If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.

Halloween Day Quote 2
I love horror. I love 'The Shining,' 'Friday the 13th,' 'Halloween,' all those kinds of things. I love zombies, especially '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later,' where the zombies are going faster than the George Romero ones. I love being scared; there's something that's awesome about your heart rate going up like that.

Halloween Day Quote 3
We were a family that made our Halloween costumes. Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brother's winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.


Halloween Day Quote 4
But I love Halloween, and I love that feeling: the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner.

Halloween Day Quote 5
This Halloween, the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.

Halloween Day Quote 6
I would love if gay men responded to me. All I want is for many gay men to dress up as me for Halloween.

Halloween Day Quote 7
The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It's unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there's a ton of it left over.


Halloween Day Quote 8
In Britain, the major public holiday used to be Guy Fawkes Day... that was celebrated on November 5th with things like bonfires and fireworks... I think that made Halloween seem preferable. The idea of having pumpkins and costumes and parties seemed much more appealing than burning down your neighborhood.


Halloween Day Quote 9
I wasn't allowed to have sugar as a kid. We didn't have candy or soda, or anything, so Easter and Halloween were my favorite times 'cause I could eat as much candy as I wanted. So, we would do the baskets, and my sister and I would go crazy.

Halloween Day Quote 10
When it comes to romance, I'm really simple. I am really a 'dinner and a movie' type of person, and I love food, so surprise me and order something different or adventurous when it comes to food, and I'm like a kid at Halloween.

Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows' Day (also known as All Saints', Hallowmas or Hallowtide) on 1 November and All Souls' Day on 2 November, thus giving the holiday on 31 October the full name of All Hallows' Eve (meaning the evening before All Hallows' Day).


Background Of Halloween Day:

Halloween day celebrated from early ages it around 1745.it celebrated by only Catholics, but this day make his presence in all around the world.

Halloween day  festival comes originates in the  parts of Northern Europe, particularly around the United Kingdom. Many European cultural traditions hold the faith  that the Halloween day is a time when black magic is most potent and devil and saint spirits can make contact with the our world or physical world. In Christian times, it became a celebration of the evening before All Saints’ Day. Immigrants from Scotland and Ireland brought the holiday to the United States.


In the 12th century they had become holy days of obligation across Europe and involved such traditions as ringing church bells for the souls in purgatory. In addition, they dressed in black to parade the streets, ringing a bell of mournful sound and calling on all good Christians to remember the poor souls. 

And  baking and sharing soul cakes for all christened souls, and  has been suggested as the origin of trick-or-treating. Back dates of  the 15th century it was found in parts of England, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Italy.in this day  groups of poor people, often children, would go door-to-door during Hallow tide, collecting soul cakes as a means of praying for souls in purgatory.


The commercialization of Halloween started in the 1900s, when postcards and die-cut paper decorations were produced. Halloween costumes started to appear in stores in the 1930s and the custom of 'trick-or-treat' appeared in the 1950s. The types of products available in Halloween style increased with time. Now Halloween is a very profitable holiday for the manufacturers of costumes, yard decorations and candy.

The First Halloween or Samhain:

The celebrations for this holiday has been started in ancient, times as a Celtic ceremony for the dead. The holiday fell upon 31th October, as it still does. It was called Samhain and this was the  mark of the eve of the next season and new year. During this time period, 1st November  was the beginning of the cold season, which was a time of hardship. For this situation, the season was winter.

The winter ahead promised to be cold, long and harsh. The people would get ready by relocating their livestock closer and preparing them for the cruel season ahead. The cessation of the crop cycle was at this time, with the harvests being stored for the winter. Because of the severity of this season, and the long, dark, cold spell upon the Celts, it became affiliated with death.

The festival of Samhain was that time when  people believed  that the worlds of the living and the dead could become one again, with the spirits. Spirits could return to earth and be mischievous, like causing crop damage.

Halloween day as it is celebrated these days but this is a pale representation of its rich and multicultural history. It is not  a celebration of the Devil or of Hell or of the Damned, but rather it is a blending of the celebrations marking the end of the growing season, a heralding of the coming of the winter months and folk traditions that told of the day when the veil between the living and the dead, ever a transparent, gossamer veil at that, would lift and ghosts and ghouls would walk among the living. From those many traditions, coming to us from the Celts, the Roman rituals and even Catholic tradition, we get the stirrings of what would eventually become Halloween.
