FROM TRICKS TO TRIBUTE: MODERN HALLOWEEN & ALL SAINTS’ CELEBRATIONS
On Halloween night, neighborhoods come alive as kids dressed as superheroes, witches, and monsters fill the streets, bags ready for treats. Houses glow with jack-o’-lanterns, and friends gather to watch horror movies or attend costume parties, sharing in the thrill of spooky stories and haunted decorations.
But once the clock strikes midnight, the energy softens as many turn to celebrate All Saints’ Day. Families light candles at home or visit loved ones’ graves, leaving flowers to honor those who have passed. In some places, a candle in the window remembers family members, and people gather to share stories of those no longer with them.
In this modern celebration, Halloween’s lively spirit blends with All Saints’ quiet reverence. These back-to-back days offer a unique mix, bringing together the joy of costumes and community with moments to remember and celebrate the loved ones who shaped us.
