The origin of Halloween predates the emergence of pirates. People have a deeper feeling and atmosphere for Halloween on land. In order to celebrate Halloween, people dress up as various powerful characters to scare away ghosts. As for pirates, he may have experienced more than land people. There are so many sailors who have died due to sea adventures, so you can see the skeletons and bones of many people after their deaths.
When the sea is foggy, there will be ghost calls or ghost fires. So for the pirates who are still living at sea, Halloween is celebrated almost every day. At that time, there was no such name. They usually call it the Exorcism Day.
Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain . The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1 .
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.
In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter.
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.
When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect.
Finally, the Jolly Roger watch we designed hopes that people can boldly pursue themselves, be true to themselves, enjoy the fun of life and have the courage to break through the shackles of the world.
