Halloween History, customs & culture
– like many anglo-saxon holidays, this tradition originated before Christianity as a pagan celebration of the Celtic culture
– Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred
– in the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally

Origin of trick-or-treating
– back in old England, on All Souls’ Day the poor would go from house to house to beg for food
– before, families would put food outside the door for evil spirits, and the Church encouraged them to give that to the needy instead
– they started to make a special treat called “soul cake”
Origin of dressing up
– on Halloween, it was believed that ghosts and evil spirits would come back from the dead to haunt the living
– it was considered dangerous to leave the house after nightfall
– if they had to leave the house anyway, people would wear masks to make ghosts mistake them for evil spirits and not hurt them
