WHAT I THINK HALLOWEEN IS ALL ABOUT...

HALLOWEEN :

I think halloween is about eating lollies all days and having heaps of fun with friends, knocking on all the doors in the neighbourhood and shouting “TRICK or TREAT, smell my feet, gimme something sweet to eat” at whoever opens the doors. I have never gone trick or treating but from the stories people tell me, it sounds very fun. And people tell me that it's about celebrating a devil's birthday.

WHAT I FOUND OUT FROM WATCHING A MOVIE:

Samhain

It says in the Celtic calendar that the year gets split into two, the light and dark half. Samhain ( sel-win ) was the beginning of the dark half.  

Lemuria day

On the 13th of may, it was Lemuria day, where roman people poured milk on graves or left soul cake on it to stop the dead from rising from the ground. Christian pastors told their churches to pray for those who are not in heaven and not in hell but in between in Purgatory. Purgatory is not as bad as hell, but it still might be as fiery. Christians said if enough prayer were prayed, they would rise and be sent to heaven.

Jack O lanterns

Jack O lanterns were originated from a man named Jack O Lantern. He was so bad that Saturn didn't even want him in hell. When Saturn kicked Jack out of Hell he flicked him a little ball of fire where Jack put in a turnip. People then decided to carve pumpkin's and put candle inside them, many years later. Many people said that Saturn came to visit Jack but Jack played a trick on him and hooked him on the wall. "I will let you go if you promise let me live and rome around for as long as I like," is what Jack said. Saturn had no other choice but to agree, so thats why people say "Stay away from flickering lights" because they think it is Jack O lantern.
