ReplyDeleteafter Halloween some church's calibrate hallweve
ReplyDeletedo you mean halloes eve
DeleteThe origins of Halloween began with the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, some 2000 years ago. The United Kingdom, northern France and Ireland would celebrate their New Year on November 1st. It was thought that on October 31st, that there was an overlapping of the worlds between the living and the dead. The Gaels believed that the ghosts of dead people would return from the grave and cause bad things to occur like the destruction of crops and illness among the people.
DeleteSamhain was a time for the ancient pagan culture to lay in supplies to last them through the long Winter. The harvest festival would involve great bonfires built by the Druids. These bonfires would inevitably attract insects, which would in turn bring bats in to feast on them. We can see how bats were incorporated in the Halloween narrative. There were also animal sacrifices and fortune telling.
lots of new candy
DeleteOver the years, Samhain became merged with the later Christian holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. This explains our modern holiday's focus on spirits and the dead.
ReplyDeletealso in mexico they celebrate the day of the dead so we are pretty lucky to get candy for free in Canada. that's why we say (our strong and free)
DeleteGOOD ANWCER
DeleteThe connection with Halloween and the Christian Church is that it is the eve of all saints day.
ReplyDeleteSamhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.
ReplyDeletethey gave candy to stop the kids from pranks
ReplyDeleteAn interesting fact is that it all began with the Celts who were people whose culture had spread across Europe more than 2000 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas
ReplyDeletean interesting fact i found was Halloween was once used to to get candy by vandalizing and causing trouble
ReplyDelete2 interesting facts were we used to say Halloween apples instead of trick or treat and October 31st used to be a new year
ReplyDelete1.When the Romans conquered the Celts, they added their own touches to the Samhain festival, such as making centerpieces out of apples and nuts for Pomona, the Roman goddess of the orchards. The Romans also bobbed for apples and drank cider, traditions which may sound familiar to you. But where does the Christian aspect of the holiday come into play? In 835, Pope Gregory IV moved the celebration for all the martyrs (later all saints) from May 13 to November 1. The night before became known as All Hallow’s Eve. Eventually the name was shortened to the current Halloween. On November 2, the Church celebrates All Souls Day. 2.Because the movie Halloween (1978) was on such a tight budget, they had to use the cheapest mask they could find for the character Michael Meyers, which turned out to be a William Shatner Star Trek mask. Shatner initially didn’t know the mask was in his likeness, but when he found out years later, he said he was honored.
ReplyDelete3. The word “witch” comes from the Old English wicce, meaning “wise woman.” In fact, wiccan were highly respected people at one time. According to popular belief, witches held one of their two main meetings, or sabbats, on Halloween night. 4. Americans Celebrate Halloween. October 31. Every October 31, both children and adults slip into the night as ghouls and goblins, princesses and pirates. Many Americans celebrate the traditions of Halloween by dressing in costumes and telling tales of witches and ghosts. Pumpkins are carved into glowering jack-o'-lanterns. 5. I think Halloween is just going to be people going to stores and the candy will be free only on Halloween!!!

ReplyDeleteHalloween was celebrated in the past when you would have to do a trick or you would not get any candy
ReplyDelete3. they used to carve turnups in ireland
ReplyDeleteIn the past people would play tricks on neighbors like removing gates from the front of houses, the young pranksters wore masks so they would be recognized.
ReplyDelete4. oct 31 was the day they celebrated the end of the harvest
ReplyDeleteI think in the future on Halloween night kids are not going go trick or treating for as long and they are going to get bigger treats and not as many.
