it is wildely believd that many halloween traditions orginated from celetic harvest festival which many have pagan roots, particulary the caelic festival samhain, and that this festival was christianized as halloween. some academics, however, support that halloween began independently as a solely christian holiday.

Some people say that halloween is to scare the dead people away and up to the heaven. that is why we dress up like sacre people or tings, and go and knock on the doors and say trick or treating.

 On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family’s dead relatives. The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as “going a-souling” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.

now on halloween you dress up as something scary , like a monster or a dead person, and then you go from house to house and knock on the dorrs and do trick or tread. and when the person opens the door the allways have a allot off candy that they give out to the kids and say happy halloween. ]]> 2016-09-28 10:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vskjelstad/uemb4ja3khzi/wish/126908582 vskjelstad https://padlet.com/vskjelstad/uemb4ja3khzi/wish/126908735 Celebration of Halloween was extremely limited in colonial New England because of the rigid Protestant belief systems there. Halloween was much more common in maryland and the southern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups as well as the American Indians meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations included “play parties,” public events held to celebrate the harvest, where neighbors would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing. Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the nineteenth century, annual autumn festivities were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing Ireland’s potato famine of 1846, helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally. Taking from Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-or-treat” tradition. ]]> 2016-09-28 10:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vskjelstad/uemb4ja3khzi/wish/126908735 vskjelstad https://padlet.com/vskjelstad/uemb4ja3khzi/wish/129329423 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween
