Sometimes each one of us dressed up in all sorts of “scary” and quirky costumes for Halloween or maybe even for other holiday, but hardly anyone ever took a second to wonder how and why these Halloween costumes were created in the first place.

Halloween has its roots in the custom of hiding the face under a mask during celebrations in honor of the God Saturn – a tradition that first sprung up in Ancient Rome.

Since slaves were allowed to participate in the fun, they had to hide their faces behind these masks in order to avoid the prejudices and to not spoil the jolly atmosphere due to prevailing social inequalities.

During the Middle Ages, folks started changing their appearance from head to toe – a poor seamstress could dress up like the queen and the king could put on the attire of a beggar.

This change in clothing gave a way for people to engage in all sorts of behavior, which otherwise would be considered inappropriate (all while hiding behind the mask.)

This way, “masquerade psychology” was born – the possibility to hide behind a mask gave a person the chance to try any role, behavior or image.

The most famous carnival of those years was the Carnival of Venice – which has its tradition in the distant past.

A famous feature of this carnival is the Baute – a white mask which covers the upper section of the face. It is believed the carnival has its beginning in 998 – after an incident where Croatian pirates kidnapped the local brides.

The Venetians chased after the pirates and saved their chosen lovers. A holiday was arranged in honor of this event.

In the XVIII century the masquerades costumes that came from Italian comedy (such as Pierrot, Columbine and Harlequin) became popular - as well as the costumes of charming shepherdess and shepherds covered in lace and white-foamed powdered wigs.
