E 'come on that day of the year when magic, scary and fun meet, and' come Halloween! The explanation I have stolen Lializard my friend ... who always knows everything! "... more 2500 anni fa, l’anno dei Celti terminava alla fine dell’estate, precisamente il 31 ottobre del nostro calendario odierno. Nella notte tra il 31 ottobre e il 1° novembre cominciava la festa di SAMAIN. In quest’ultimo giorno dell’anno i Celti pensavano che gli spiriti andassero a trovare i loro parenti e che il Dio dei morti tentasse di raggruppare le anime di chi era deceduto durante l’anno per rivelar loro le sorti che le attendevano. In questa notte speciale i Celti eseguivano una cerimonia rigorosa per assicurarsi che l’anno entrante fosse propizio. La festa di Samain era la più importante delle feste celte. La sera del 31 ottobre i Celti spegnevano il fuoco dentro alle loro case. Durante la notte, tutto il villaggio si raccoglieva solemnly in a circle and Druids extinguished the sacred fire dell'AUTEL. Then they took the dead branches from a sacred oak and rubbed them up to bring forth a new fire, which was to honor the god of the sun and chase away evil spirits. After this ceremony the Druids offered glowing embers of the fire in this new family because they turning on each end in turn one in the fireplace, which was to last until next autumn. The function of the sacred fire was to protect the house from harm and to scare away evil spirits. It was then served a feast. The food offered in this day of rebirth, pork, wine, beer, cider (beverage of the Gods) was to ensure immortality. The feast of Samain lasted from one week to ten days, and be sure to scare the spirits, the Celts used to dress up and put the costumes scary ... "
My photo dedicated, and 'was taken to Las Vegas in November last year. These were precisely the decorations that had been prepared in Bellagio at the then-now-spent Halloween. The environment was recreated course sensational .... all in great As always, the American way ! Nothing to do with the decorations that have prepared at all hotels in Lanzarote here ... but that's okay '!
The pumpkin I bought: one piece, not a whole, and exclusively for cooking and not to carve and put a candle in it ... what is 'that would be a waste ... Now I just have to decide whether it will be' pasta and pumpkin risotto with pumpkin or agnolotti filled pumpkin (since last week I found and bought the car to roll out the dough, like "Imperia ".... what a joy !!!).
Well, I just have to wish everyone a happy Halloween! And the first floor of this well beccatevi witch!
