Halloween

I think that Halloween is a good celebration. A night to eat as much candy as you can get from houses. Some say that Halloween is the Devil’s birthday, but I don’t believe that. In my mind Halloween is a night to dress up and decorate things to be spooky. I’ve never done Halloween but I would like to.


  After watching a movie about Halloween. I knew heaps more about Halloween. Samhain was a festival to represent the good harvest that they had. It was also a time where the days got shorter and the nights got longer which was a really spooky thing.  
 
A day called Laumoria was when people poured roman milk onto graves. The church wanted to take the pagan things out of Laumoria so they named it all saints day. From being a big success the church moved the date from May 13th to November 1st to shadow the Pagan festival Samhain which was on October 31st. This made things more interesting then people started calling samhain all Hallows eve.
  

The trick or treating idea sought of come from the Church. They stated that some souls were in purgatory which wasn’t hell or heaven but still was a very bad place. Church told everyone that if you pray for that soul enough times they will get out of purgatory. Kids went around asking for soul cakes for exchange for their prayers.
