Facesmainst.com — The origin and origin of Halloween and goods

The etymology of Halloween is said to have originated from the Catholic Church.

In other words, November 1st, the Day of All Hallows, is a traditional Catholic church celebrating religious events in honor of all adults, and it is known for Halloween’s etymology that has been passed down over the years.
Halloween originated from a custom brought in by Irish immigrants to the United States, but it was only more prevalent in the United States than in Ireland or the United Kingdom, and has recently been regarded and celebrated as a play or festival in many countries. Halloween is a theme of unpleasant things such as scary death, mythological monsters, and so on. Halloween-related things often include ghosts, witches, bats, black cats, goblins, zombies, demons, and other literary characters such as Dracula and Frankenstein. Some families decorate their homes with this during Halloween.

Looking at the origins of Halloween

Looking at the origins of Halloween, around the 5th century B.C., the current region of Ireland, England, and northern Europe, where Celtic lived, celebrated October 31 as the last day of summer and November 1 as the first day of the new year. On October 31, when harvest season ends and dark and cold winter begins, people believed that the sun’s power weakens the boundaries between the living and the dead, and not only do all kinds of spirits and witches come out but also the spirits of the dead come down to the ground, causing accidents and renting bodies of the living.

Therefore, on this day, the whole village stopped heating and cooled down to protect itself from the spirit in order not to be occupied. And by dressing up as a ghost and walking around the village loudly, the spirits wandering in search of a body to live in were surprised and ran away.

The Celts also set an example to prevent ghosts from approaching the living by placing a man who was already thought to have been occupied by the spirit on a pile of firewood and burning at the stake. Later, around the 1st century AD, the Romans came to terms with Celtic customs. The Romans did not burn people, but instead made dolls and burned them. As this custom gradually changed over the years, the consciousness that ghosts entered the body weakened and developed into a festival format where ghosts gathered in costumes such as goblins, ghosts, and witches. This custom was introduced to North America by immigrants and became a festival for children today.

Halloween's signature colors

Halloween’s signature colors are black and orange, and orange pumpkins are closely related to autumn. Jack-o-lantern (a lantern carved from a ghost in a pumpkin) originates in Irish legend. A man named Jack, who had been violent and bad, enticed Satan to climb a tree and carved a cross into a tree nest to tie the devil to the tree. After that, Jack died and could not go to hell for deceiving the devil without going to heaven due to his bad behavior. Instead, the devil gave Jack a small spark to endure the dark and cold winter, and there is a legend that Jack took out the inside of the pumpkin and kept it in there to keep it for a long time.

Trick-or-treat customs

Trick-or-treat customs are presumed to have nothing to do with Celtic customs, and the “All Souls day” event on November 2nd is where Europeans went around the village to get a square “Soul Cake.” People believed at the time that the more soul cakes they received, the more soul they could save. Today, children disguised as ghosts, witches, and monsters go from door to door and say Trick or treat!, and if they don’t give candy, they doodle on the windows with soap. But that doesn’t happen much because most adults enjoy giving out candy to their children and preparing it in advance. After doing this, children gather to pick out the candy they received and hold a party. And they play a game of putting apples in a basin filled with water and taking out apples with their mouths without touching them.

Today

Today, non-Christians and demonicists have adopted Halloween as their best anniversary, and Christian groups have banned it, but its origins are not in demonist customs. It began with a ceremony to celebrate the new year of the Celtic people and a prayer for the salvation of the souls of medieval Europe.

Everyone knows Valentine’s Day these days, but when I was young, I could only find Valentine’s Day in the English dictionary, and Halloween Day was only seen on foreign topics. By the way, children dressed weirdly on Halloween, especially girls, sneak up in a dark places… There’s no way to avoid feeling creepy even though you know you’re dressed up.
