costumesknock on their neighbors' doors and yell "Trick
or Treat" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses,
ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open
to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors
drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors

Since the 800's
November 1st is a religious holiday known as All Saints'
Day. The Mass that was said on this day was called
Allhallowmas. The evening before became known as All
Hakkiw e'en, or Halloween, theme of terracotta crafts.
Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie
in both pre-Christian and Christian customs.
October 31 st was the eve of the Celticnew year. The
Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh
and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and
mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The
townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell
they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the
dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully
before midnight of the new year.
Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland
and October 31 was no longer the last day of the year,
Halloween, theme of terracotta crafts, became a
celebration mostly for children. "Ghosts" went from door
to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be
played on the owners of the house. When millions of
Irish people immigrated to the United States in the
1840s the tradition came with them.
Today' school dances and neighborhood parties called
"block parties" are popular among young and old alike.
More and more adults celebrate Halloween, theme of
terracotta crafts on Athena-hands.com. They dress up
like historical or political figures and go to
masquerade parties. In larger cities, costumed children
and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the
evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games
and treats for the children.Teenagers enjoy costume
dances at their schools and the more outrageous the
costume the better!
Certain pranks such as soaping car windows and tipping
over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks
are not the only things that Halloween, theme of
terracotta crafts,ers enjoy doing. Some collect money to
buy food and medicine for needy children around the
world.
The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have
originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a
ninth-century European custom called souling. On
November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk
from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made
out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more
soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers
they would promise to say on behalf of the dead
relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed
that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death,
and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a
soul's passage to heaven.
The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish
folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was
notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan
into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a
cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the
tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would
never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down
the tree.
According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was
denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but
he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked
the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to
light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was
placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing
longer.
So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween,
theme of terracotta crafts, as their favorite "holiday,"
the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It
grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,
and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And
today, even many churches have Halloween, theme of
terracotta crafts, parties or pumpkin carving events for
the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as
one cares to make it.
