3ORIGINS 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.
4- 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
relied on the existence of ghosts, goblins and

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

sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a ghost
story, - to earn their treats.
6THE 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.
7After 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.
