Did you know that Halloween is one of the oldest holiday? The American tradition of trick-or-treating "dates from the early All Souls Day parades in England. During the festivities would be to ask poor people for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the dead relatives of the family. The practice, known as "going a-Souling" was eventually taken up by the children who are the houses in their neighborhood and visitgiven to drink, food and money.
In Ireland, where Halloween originated, the day is still much as it is in the U.S.. Bonfires lit and throughout the country, children in costumes and go trick-or-treating. Then most people to parties with neighbors and friends, where they bob for apples, go on go treasure hunting and playing card games. A traditional food eaten on Halloween is barmbrack, a sort of tunnel, in stores or baked in oil can be bought at home. The"Halloween Brack" traditionally includes various objects baked into the bread and was saying as a kind of happiness that uses game. Baked in the barmbrack were: a pea, a stick, a piece of cloth, a small coin and a ring. Each element, when they get into the disc, should carry a meaning, the person eating it: the peas should not marry the person of this year, which meant you stick an unhappy marriage or continually be in disputes; mean you have the cloth bad luck or be poor;the coin meant that you would enjoy the good fortune or be rich and, last but not least, the ring meant that you would be married within a year.
In various parts of England there is a festival called holy days, on the 4th November falls. On this night, children play tricks on adults from the minors to more serious tricks like having garden gates from their hinges area. While England, as in much of the British Isles, common, children carve faces or designs on pumpkins. Usuallylit from within, the lanterns are then displayed in the windows within the meaning of this theme on the night of fear and terror. Before the introduction of pumpkin carving from the U.S., they would carve large turnips, and in some areas this is done today.
And here in the United States, forget the age old tradition of charcoal-Night? In parts of the USA, it is as a coal Night, Goosey Night or Doorbell Night known and is always on the evening of 30 October. Tricks likeToilet papering yards and houses, powder-bombing and car chases and Smashing Pumpkins are just some of the tricks are played by young people this evening. In northern England it is known as the Corpse Night, Goosey Night, Tick-Tack night, night or Corn stunt night. In Liverpool, UK, it is known as Mizzi night. In Ireland, it is called Mischief Night, and is so popular that teenagers get the week around Halloween from school.
So this year on 30 October, you think your car move intothe garage to bring all the pumpkins inside, and keep you on your outdoor lighting. It's Night of coal and the children treated for just tricks!
