ORIGINS OF Halloween

• The name Halloween is derived from a
  transliteration of the phrase "All Hallows Eve",
  which means "eve or vigil of All Saints."
• This event grew between the fall and winter.
  Halloween is a time of celebration and
  superstition. It is believed to have originated
  with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This
  holiday derives from the diabolical rites of
  Celtic priests called Druids. The Celts were
  tribes expanded in parts of Europe, and religious
  beliefs were based on polytheism (many gods). One
  of these deities was Saman, the god of the dead.

• The Druid priests, used to meet every year to
  invoke the god Shaman and thousands of evil
  spirits, in order to meet predictions for next
  year. After the Romans conquered the territories
  of the Celts (Scotland, Ireland, among others)
  for the year 43 BC, was added to the festival of
  the Druids, the invocation of Pomona, Roman
  goddess of fruit trees and a celebration was on
  October 31 of each year. This mix of pagan court
  festivities were added a number of ways, such as
  campfires, have fun with fruits and gourds make
  faces with burning candles inside. This date also
  had acquired the celebration of the arrival of
  autumn, gradually took a sinister character. Amid
  the festivities, evil spirits were invoked and

TRICK-OR-TREATING

• Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for
  children on Halloween.
• Children go in costume from house to house,
  asking for treats such as candy or sometimes
  money,
• with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word
  "trick" "threat" to perform mischief on the
  homeowners or their property if no treat is
  given.
• In some parts of Scotland children still go
  guising. In this custom the child performs some
  sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a ghost
  story,

THE JACK-O'-LANTERN LEGEND
Origins of Jack O'Lantern An Irish tale tells us
where the origins of the name Jack o'lantern came
from. There once was a man named Jack who liked
to play tricks on people. He lived a long,
mischievous life. One day he tricked Satan into
climbing a tree. Jack then carved the image of a
Holy Cross in the trunk of the tree. This trapped
the Devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the
Devil that he would let the Devil down the tree,
if the Devil promised to never tempt him again.

After Jack died, he was not permitted into Heaven
because of his evil ways. He was also denied
access to Hell because he had tricked the Devil.
The devil gave him a single ember to light his
way through the freezing blackness. This flame
was put inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it
glowing. As Jack walked his neverending journey
as punishment for his trickery, he carried a
burning coal inside a turnip to help him see
along the roads everywhere he traveled. Soon he
was known as "Jack of the lantern" or Jack
O'Lantern. In Ireland, turnips were used as
their Jack's lanterns originally. However,
immigrants to America, found pumpkins more
plentiful than turnips. The Jack-O-Lantern in
America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an
ember.
