Halloween Mandala with ghosts and pumpkins

Halloween is a festival of Irish origin: Jack was so stingy that when he met the Devil, it gave him a reprieve before going to Hell or Paradise. Since then, Jack wanders between Heaven and Hell, by the light of a lantern.Today, kids love to enjoy this party asking for candy in their vicinity ! Do you prefer coloring pages with mummies, zombies, vampires, witches, ghosts, monsters, mummies, skeletons, devils, Dracula, Frankenstein ?

In the collective imagination, the figure of the witch often evokes images of magic and mystery.Historically, the witch has sometimes been perceived as a benevolent healer, sometimes as a threat to be eliminated.

The pumpkin, the emblematic fruit of autumn, has become a veritable symbol of the Halloween holiday.Its connection with this celebration has its origins in ancient Celtic traditions, notably that of Jack-o'-lantern, an Irish legend that tells the story of a man condemned to wander around with a lantern carved out of a turnip.Arriving in America, immigrants discovered the pumpkin, more abundant and easy to carve, and adopted it to create spooky lanterns.
