The exact origins of wearing masks in ceremonies are unknown; but masks have been worn by religious celebrants as well as spiritual and pagan observers.

In Europe masks are worn in carnival, a festive occasion which occurs immediately before lent. In carnival, celebrants dress up in colorful costumes and masks, and they masquerade in their chosen characters during the celebrations in public street parties. Street parties and parades have the elements of a circus, with people masquerading in costumes and masks.
In Asia, masks are worn during various ceremonies, including Shamanism wherein the Shamans intercede on behalf of humans and communicate with the spirits of the underworld. And, because certain animals are viewed as gods, it is not uncommon to see monstrous heads on Hindu and Buddhist temples. These monstrous masks on temples are intended to ward off evil.
In Christianity, Halloween is associated with the All Hallow Even, better known as All Saints’ Day that is celebrated on October 31. For non-religious believers, Halloween can be traced to the Celtic cultural celebration of Samhain. It is a holiday celebration between October 1 and November 1, to celebrate the end of Summer and the harvest of crops. Some Christians who believe that Halloween is a pagan festival, and such believers do not usually permit their children to wear costume masks and to participate in the trick or treat celebration.
For most people, however, Halloween is largely a secular celebration, and a time for costume parties, wearing Halloween masks and hiding their identities behind silly mask or scarecrow masks, and a time to for children to tell scary stories, pumpkin carving and the famous carving of Jack-o’ lantern.
