Happy Halloween!🎃🖤🎃

🎃Trick or treat?
The history of this holiday originates from the traditions of the ancient Celts, and is closely connected with the Celtic Samhain. Traditionally, it is celebrated on the night of October 31 to November 1, and only during this period the dead can walk freely on the ground. All attributes of Halloween are designed to subdue spirits and protect the living from their influence.

One of the main attributes of the holiday is Jack's Lamp, which is now cut from a pumpkin. But initially sinister face carved from a turnip. By the way, this lamp has an ancient history, originating from the Celtic fairy tale. According to legend, miserly farmer Jack played with the devil, and could not get to heaven or hell. He was forced to roam the earth with the infernal piece of burning coal. Jack took a turnip and carved out her flashlight to find his lost soul.

The tradition of going from house to house and trick-or-treating originated from the middle Ages. It's now the kids dress up and go begging for sweets, and then it did the poor. They went to the houses of rich people and asked for "spiritual cakes". If the owner gave a treat, the poor prayed for his soul. The tradition of Trick-or-treating originated from "oven cakes", but now the kids go home and ask for a treat.

The English word witch comes from the old English word wicce, which means "wise woman". Indeed, before the witches were revered people, before the Inquisition declared on them witch. According to legends, on the night of Halloween witches hold their sabbaths.
