Why dress up on Halloween?

Why dress up on Halloween?

Halloween is a ghost festival originating from the West with the full name "All Hallows' Evening" or also known as Hoa Lo Quy, held on October 31 every year. Later, this festival was introduced to Vietnam and was responded to and welcomed by many young Vietnamese people.

So do you wonder why on Halloween we have to dress up?

According to the explanation, Halloween originated from the Samhain festival of the ancient Celts (Ireland). The ancients believed that this was the time when the boundary between this world and the other world was very fragile and people could communicate with the deceased at this time. Therefore, people would wear the costumes of saints and sing songs or recite poems to pray for the deceased, remembering the gods when going from one church to another.

Over the years, that tradition was gradually replaced by the creative and unique ideas of mischievous Scottish and Irish youths by dressing up as ghosts to scare others. Since then, dressing up has become an indispensable part of Halloween nights.

The Celts also believed that dressing up like this would help festival-goers on the street avoid real ghosts because that was the moment when the boundary between the two worlds of the human world and hell was most fragile.

During Halloween, children went in groups, knocking on doors in the neighborhood and saying "Trick or Treat". If the homeowner did not want children to be naughty and mischievous, they had to treat them with candy, snacks or fruit.
