Origins
Halloween began 2000 years ago in Ireland with the ancient religion of the Celts (Paganism).

They celebrated their New Year on November 1st. This day marked the end of summer
and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Samhain (sow-in)
On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Costumes
People thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes…

So they wore costumes.
This way, the ghosts couldn’t recognize them!

Symbols
Nuts, fruits and apples were part of the Samhain harvest ceremonies.
Apples were sacred and lucky!
The colours of Halloween are Orange and Black - they represent harvest (orange) and death (black)

The Christian Influence
As the influence of Christianity spread into Celtic lands, in the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV introduced All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs, to replace the Pagan festival of Samhain.
Oct. 31st thus became All Hallows' Eve ('hallow' means 'saint').

Trick-or-treating began with the poor in the 15th century… During the All Souls Day festival in England,
poor people would beg for “soul cakes,” made out of square pieces of bread with currants
Families would give soul cakes in return for a promise to pray for the family’s relatives

then children…
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.

Today:
Children still go from house-to-house, but instead of food, and money, they get sweets.

Halloween went to America
In the 19th century, millions of Irish emigrants fled into America as a result of the potato famine. They brought with them their traditions of Halloween.

The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish used to carry turnips with candles in them to light their way at night and to scare away ghosts..

When they arrived in America they found that there were lots of pumpkins and they were much easier to carve than
turnips.

Now, Jack-O-Lanterns are used for decorating people’s
homes.
