5 Reasons to Celebrate Halloween Abroad
Halloween has a rich and delicate past that extends back through Christian history and into pre-Christian Celtic history. For instance, the association of Halloween with cider, apples, pumpkins, and other vegetables arises from the fact that many religions urged their members to abstain from eating meat on All Hallow’s Eve. The deep roots of Halloween mean that much of the Western world participates in the holiday. Celebrating Halloween abroad can be a rewarding, educational, and exciting way to experience the year’s most frightening holiday. Here are a few reasons to consider leaving home this Halloween.
【R1】______
If you are looking for a wild Halloween, then you might consider going to South Korea or Brazil. In Seoul, on Halloween, the district of Itaewon closes its streets to automobile traffic and sets up a festival complete with live music, costume contests, and more. The party lasts long into the night (the next morning really) and features emigrants, Koreans, and travelers dancing the night away in costume.
【R2】______
El Dia de los Muertos, or The Day of the Dead, is one of the largest holidays celebrated in Mexico. It started 3,000 years ago, as a way to mock death and celebrate life and has been influenced greatly by Spanish settlers. Families hold grand feasts in which they honor ancestors by constructing altars and decorating their homes. It is both a joyous and a sad holiday, one for which there is much celebrating, but also much reflection about the meanings of life and death. The celebration lasts for three days and features parades, parties, and the return of the monarch butterfly to Mexico.
【R3】______
What makes Halloween interesting is that the tradition was nearly stamped out by the Catholic Church at one point. Though Halloween originated in parts of Europe (and similar holidays originated in places like China and South America), many of the older traditions have been lost. It took the disrespectful inhabitants of the "New World" to revive the holiday. Now, places like Italy and France actually celebrate "American-style" Halloween better than Americans do. One can have a better taste of the true spirit of Halloween when spending the holiday in those places.
【R4】______
In Germany, everyone puts their knives away to prevent injury to returning spirits and prevent the spirits from harming others. In the Czech Republic, Halloween is marked by visits to the graves of departed loved ones and by placing chairs around the fireplace (enough for the living and the dead) to welcome departed ancestors home. Traditions are unique the world over, you might just find one you like better than your current tradition.
【R5】______
Ghosts across the world appear in all variety of structures from ancient castles and hotels to subways and cemeteries. You could visit Bran Castle, in Romania, which was probably the inspiration for the castle in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. You could also visit The Catacombs in Paris, the Vaults and Mary King’s Close in Scotland, or Xunantunich in Belize. Mystery and the supernatural abound in both ancient and modern settings, so don’t be afraid (maybe just a little) to explore.
【R5】
