Hola Nachos!

Happy Halloween Nachos!

Today is a day for fun, parties, trick-or-treating, candy, costumes, decorations etc. (And if you’re a Nacho Its a day for that, and candied chilie peeppers )

Now, a short history on Halloween.

Halloween was originally a Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced sow-in), marking the end of harvest and the beginning of the new year (November 1st). The druids believed that ghosts and spirits roamed the earth at this time, and they lit bonfires as protection. 

When the Romans took over the Celtic lands, they adapted the day to honor their own deities. One of these, Pomona, was the goddess of fruit and trees and was represented by an apple. This may be why we bob for apples at Halloween parties today! 

Eventually, the Roman Catholic Church adapted the day as All Saints’, or All Hallows’, Day, to honor saints who did not have a specific feast day of their own. The name gradually changed to Halloween. 

The tradition of trick-or-treating dates to All Souls’ Days parades in England. Villagers gave poor people “soul cakes” in return for prayers for their dead relatives.

Also, here’s a Nacho pumpkin I found  

I hope you all have a Happy Halloween!
