On October 31st, the eve of All Saints Day,
we celebrate Halloween.

THE HISTORY
The tradition of Halloween began way back in the fifth century BC by the Irish Celts, who organised their year according to the agricultural calendar and marked the transition from one year to the next on October 31. The story goes that during the transistion spirits would return to earth, looking for living bodies to possess for the following year. The Celts would then dress up in ghoulish costumes and parade around the community to frighten them away. Years later, the tradition of trick-or-treating is thought to have grown from a ninth century European custom, souling, when early Christians would make house calls begging for soul cakes. It was thought that even strangers could help a soul's passage to heaven by saying prayers, so, in exchange for a cake they promised to pray for the donors' deceased relatives.

WHERE DOES THE NAME OF HALLOWEEN COME FROM????
In the year 835 AD the Roman Catholic Church made November 1st a church holiday to honor all the saints. This day is called All Saint's Day. It used to be also known as Hallowmas or All Hallows. Gradually, over the years, October 31st became known as All Hallow Even, eventually All Hallow's Eve, Halloween, and then Halloween as we know it today.

Did you know that our ancestors celebrated New Year on November 1st? The Celts (ancient inhabitants of Great Britain) celebrated their New Year on November 1st. It was celebrated every year with a festival that marked the end of the "season of darkness and cold."
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FUN FILLED HALLOWEEN
