A few words about Halloween
Drawing on the Celtic traditions of Samhain, which marks the transition from the light season to the dark season, Halloween has evolved over time into a festival that is both religious and popular, dedicated to the saints and the dead.
As autumn sets in, the nights grow longer, temperatures drop, and nature prepares for winter. Halloween then becomes a celebration that defies death, a festival where we play tricks on the darkness through legends such as that of Jack-o’-Lantern. This character, an indispensable figure of the festival, wandering aimlessly, lit by a pumpkin, symbolises the struggle against the unknown.
All around him, a frightening world unfolds: bats, spiders, witches and even colourful calaveras from Mexico. Plenty of thrills in store… but also plenty of sweets, for young and old alike!
