History of Halloween




“Halloween” means “hallowed” or “holy evening”. There are some theories of Halloween. I’ll tell you about one of them. Halloween was occurred by Celt about a thousand years ago, but the Celt called it “Samhain”. Samhain is fall festival. The Celt believed spirit of the death would return, so the Celt thought they would be tricked. After Roman enter Britain, this custom and Samhain are mixed. For 800 year’s, the people believed October, 31th is the day when spirit would return. They called it “All Hallows’ Eve, so now, people call it “Halloween”."Trick or Treat" currently performed by present Halloween the customs of the candy collection by the portions of "Treat" and children start by the next thing, the portion of "Trick" spread. There are much tricks .For example, throwing the excrement of livestock, releasing a cow out of a fence, or throwing an egg is performed. The customs of a mischief having decreased and continuing up to now as Trick-or-treating by the 1930s spread all over the United States.
