The nights are getting darker, the leaves are falling from the trees. It must be Halloween 2023.

The festival of Halloween pre-dates our modern civilisation and was first celebrated 2000 years ago by the Celts.

The Celts believed that following winter solstice the barrier between the world of the living and the world of the dead was at its thinnest. This thinning of the barrier allowed the dead to cross into the world of the living. It was believed the dead would damage crops and cause mischief. So the Celts lit bonfires and left treats to as a sacrifice to their gods. The Celts wore costumes of animal heads and skins for this ritual, leading to us wearing costumes today.

It was also believed that clerics and prophets could see the future on this day, so could guide their tribes through the coming winter, allowing them to ration food and supplies when needed.

Today we still celebrate this festival by dressing up in scary costumes and trick-or-treating close to our homes.

This Halloween come why not grab yourself an amazing costume from Costumes R Us and cause a little mischief yourself?
