Halloween 2017, the bravest ones will choose costumes that will portray mythical characters, witches, or terrifying creatures that will drive away the forces of evil.
Halloween is a Celtic feast, but over the years, it has spread to other parts of the world, reaching Romania. If we were to find a correspondent in the Orthodox faith, we could resemble this celebration on the 1st of November, a moment marked by the Feast of All Saints. During the Roman Empire, Halloween was named Pomona Day, and for the heathen, this celebration was represented by the Samhain Festival. The name of the holiday comes from English, from the word all hallows' Even, which means the Feast of All Saints.
