Old World Christmas Glass Blown Ornament with S-Hook and Gift Box, Halloween Collection (Miniature Ghost)

Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year, when spirits were allowed to return to earth to visit. Christianity incorporated this into All Hallow's Eve, Oct. 31, prior to All Saints Day. The Irish brought Halloween to America in the 1840s, with the tradition of dressing in costumes and playing pranks in the hope of keeping evil spirits away.Size: 2 ¼"With a matching S-hook and gift box included, this is a great gift set!Hand crafted in age-old tradition using techniques that originated in the 1800'sMolten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World ChristmasOrnaments are all hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creationsOld World Christmas offers the most extensive and best-loved collection with over 1,400 proprietary designs
