2000 years ago, the Celts celebrated their new year ( The Festival
of Samhain) on November the 1st, marking the end of summer and
their harvest. The Celts believed that on the eve of the new year,
the dead would join the living - the festival of the dead - and
bring with them prophecies of comfort and direction for the Druids
(Celtic Priests).
The Druids built sacred bonfires, where sacrifices (crops and
animals) were offered to the Druid deities. The Celts wore costumes,
made out of animal heads and skins, and told each other's fortunes.
In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November,
the 1st, as All Saints' Day, attempting to replace the Celtic
Festival with a church-sanctioned holiday. The church, in 1000
AD, would make November, the 2nd, All Souls' Day to honor the
dead. Celebrations of this holiday were similar to Samhain - bonfires,
parades and dressing up as saints, angels and demons. The Eve
of All Saints', All Saints' and All Souls' were called "Hallowmas".
The tradition of wearing masks and ghoulish costumes came from
the fear of being recognized by the ghosts that walked among the
living, during Hallowmas. To keep ghosts away from homes, bowls
of food were placed outside to appease the spirits.
Various Halloween customs merged in America, as European immigrants
arrived and the first celebrations included parties and public
events, where stories of the dead were shared, fortunes were told,
dancing, singing, mischief and tricks also were a part of this
holiday. It was not until the middle of the 19th Century, when
millions of Irish immigrants arrived in America, that the celebration
of Hallowmas became popular in a national sense, in the US. In
the late 1800's, Americans were encouraged to mold the holiday
into one that was celebrated without anything frightening, superstitious
or with religious overtones. Between the 1920's and 1950's, trick-or-treating
was revived since vandalism plagued Halloween celebrations, families
provided neighborhood children with treats to prevent tricks being
played on them.
