31 pazdziernika w USA to oczywiscie szal HALLOWEEN! W Polsce Wszystkich Swietych, chociaz imprezy halloweenowe tez sa, ale to jednak nie to samo co tutaj...:P To w USA jest ten prawdziwy klimat dyn, udekorowanych domow, gadzetow, przebranych dzieci, odwiedzajacyh z koszyczkami domy, zeby dostac cukierki, imprezy halloweenowe, na ktorych kroluja przerozne stroje...:) Trzeba tu byc, przezyc i poczuc te prawdziwa atmosfere Halloween! :)
Czytalam, ze historia Halloween nie jest do konca znana... Podobno historia tego swieta moze byc zwiazana z roznymi poganskimi wierzeniami, miedzy innymi Celtyccy kaplani, Druidzi wierzyli, ze w dzien Samhain (obrzadek celtycki) zacierala sie granica miedzy zaswiatami, a swiatem ludzi zyjacych, zas duchom zarowno zlym jak i dobrym latwiej bylo sie przedostac do swiata zywych. Duchy przodkow czczono i zapraszano do domow, zle duchy zas odstraszano. Jednym z elementow obchodow Samhain bylo rowniez palenie ognisk. Bogom poswiecano na oltarzach resztki plonow, zwierzeta i ludzi. Wokol ognisk odbywaly sie tance smierci. Druidzi nosili czarne stroje oraz duze rzepy, ponacinane na podobienstwo demonow. Uwaza sie, ze wlasnie z potrzeby odstraszania zlych duchow wywodzi sie zwyczaj przebierania w Halloween w dziwaczne stroje i zakladania masek. Czarownice w towarzystwie czarnych kotow przepowiadaly przyszlosc. Koscioly chrzescijanskie przeciwstawily sie obchodzeniu Halloween wprowadzajac Dzien Zaduszny. Halloween jest hucznie obchodzone przede wszystkim w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie, Irlandii i Wielkiej Brytanii. Irlandcy imigranci sprowadzili tradycje Halloween do Stanow Zjednoczonych w latach 40 XIX wieku. Pierwsza parada z okazji Halloween odbyla sie 31 pazdziernika 1920 roku w miescie Anoka w stanie Minnesota. W paradzie udzial wzieli mieszkancy miasta, przebrani w kolorowe stroje znanych postaci. W 1937 roku Anoke ogloszono swiatowa stolica Halloween. Symbolem Halloween jest wydrazona dynia. Kolory Halloween to czarny i pomaranczowy. Nazwa Halloween jest najprawdopodobniej skróconym All Hallows' E’en, czyli wcześniejszym „All Hallows' Eve”, czyli wigilia Wszystkich Swietych. Kosciol katolicki potepia Halloween i utozsamia je z kultem Szatana, poniewaz noc 31 pazdziernika na 1 listopada jest takze waznym swietem w Kosciele Szatana. Ja mysle, ze Halloween dzis jest przede wszystkim okazja do dobrej zabawy i prawdopodobnie wiekszosc ludzi bawiacych sie w tym dniu nawet nie mysli o wywolywaniu duchow albo oddawaniu holdu Szatanowi. Liczy sie dobra zabawa!
W tym roku Halloween przypadlo w sobote, czyli perfekcyjnie dla wszystkich imprezowiczow. My tegoroczne Halloween spedzilismy w klubie Koloseum w Tallahassee na Florydzie. Majk przebral sie za Supermana, natomiast ja bylam Minni Mouse. Moj maz wyrazil chec zamowienia dla nas strojow przez internet w tym roku. Ja akurat bylam czyms zajeta, wiec stwierdzilam swietnie, zamawiaj! Kostiumy doszly do nas z New Jersey w czwartek przed Halloween... Superman pasowal perfekcyjnie, natomaist moj stroj byl dwa numery za duzy...:D Nie wiem jak Majk to zrobil, w kazdym razie wczesniej poinformowal mnie, ze zamowil maly rozmiar dla mnie...:D Potem kiedy zobaczylam ten dwa rozmiary za duzy stroj, Majk stwierdzil, ze byl to najmniejszy rozmiar w tej firmie :D Ehh Ci mezczyzni...:D Na szczescie w piatek w Tallahassee udalo nam sie kupic Minni Mouse w moim rozmiarze...:)
Hi!
October 31st in the US it is of course crazy HALLOWEEN! Poland has an All Saints Day. There are also Halloween parties, but I think it is not the same as in the US...:P US has a real atmosphere of Halloween which are pumpkins, decorated houses, Halloween stuff, costumed children with buckets who knock the door to get some candy, different Halloween parties, where you can see many different, fantastic costumes...:) You have to be here to feel a real atmosphere of Halloween! :)
I was reading that a history of Halloween is not completely known... Probably the history of this holiday is related with different pagan beliefs. Celtic priests (Druids) believed that on Samhain day (Celtic ritual) the boundaries between underworld and living world were blurring, and both bad and good ghosts had an easier way to get into a living world. The spirit of ancestry was revered, but bad ghosts were discouraged. Bonfires were also rituals of Samhain. They sacrificed to the Gods on the alerts leftover yields, animals and people. Druids wore black outfits and big burs similar to demons. It is believed that exactly to discourage bad ghosts there is a tradition of weird costumes and masks on Halloween. Witches with cats companion were predicting a future. Christian churches opposed the Halloween and they entered an All Soul's Day. Halloween is celebrated mostly in the US, Canada, Ireland and United Kingdom. An Irish immigrants brought a Halloween tradition in to the US in 40s of XIX century. The first Halloween parade was on October 31st 1920 in Anoka, Minnesota. City residents dressed in colorful outfits took part in this parade. Anoka was proclaimed as a world capital of Halloween in 1937. The symbol of Halloween is a hollowed out pumpkin. Black and orange are the colors of Halloween. The Halloween name is probably a shortened All Hallows' E’en, which is earlier All Hallows' Eve”, which is an All Saints Eve. The Catholic church condemns Halloween and identifies it with the Devil cult. The night October 31st to November 1st is also an important holiday in the Devil's church. I think that Halloween today is mostly just a good occasion to have fun. Probably most of the people who celebrate on this day don't even think about inducing spirits or cult of the Devil. Importance is fun!
Halloween this year was on Saturday so it was perfect for all party people. We spent this year Halloween in Club Coliseum in Tallahassee, FL. Mike dressed as a Superman, but I was a Minnie Mouse. My husband expressed his desire to order costumes online, but I was busy with something this moment so I said great, please order them! We received costumes from New Jersey on Thursday right before Halloween... The Superman outfit did fit perfectly, but my outfit was bigger two sizes...:D I do not know how Mike did it, but he told me before that he ordered for me a small size...:D Later when I noticed that my costume is bigger two sizes Mike told me that it was the smallest size in this company :D There is always something with those men! Fortunately the next day we bought a Minnie Mouse outfit in my size...:)
