Source Halloween
Halloween has its origins in a Celtic festival known as Samhain, which derives from Old Irish, meaning the end of summer and celebrated the end of the harvest season taking stock of food supplies and livestock to prepare for the winter and was regarded as the "Year New Celtic. "
The ancient Celts believed the line that connects this world with the Underworld narrowed with the advent of Samhain, allowing spirits (both benevolent and malevolent) pass through. The family's ancestors were honored guests and while they were away evil spirits. It is believed that the use of costumes and masks because of the need to ward off evil spirits. Its purpose was to adopt the appearance of an evil spirit to avoid being damaged.
Legends and customs, history of Jack the cheap ...
Legends and customs
On this night the spirits visited the houses of their relatives, and that spirits do not disturb the villagers had put a candle in the window of his home for every deceased person who had been in the family. If there was a candle in memory of each deceased spirits do not bother your family, if it was not like the spirits are disturbed at night and they were dropped from terrible nightmares. Originally
Trick or Treat (in English "Trick-or-treat") was a popular legend of Celtic origin, according to which not only the spirits of the dead were free to roam the earth on Halloween night, but all class of entities from all spiritual realms. Among them was a terrible evil that roamed towns and villages, going from house to house asking for just "trick or treat." The legend says that it was better to treatment, regardless of the cost that it would therefore not agree with this spirit (which would be named Jack O'Lantern, known to the traditional Halloween pumpkins) he would use their powers to "trick" that would curse the house and its inhabitants, giving them all sorts of misfortune and curses as the family sick, kill livestock to pests or to burn the house itself. Emerged as protection the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating horrendous forms of pumpkins, so avoid running the spectrum (and eventually, because the mental association between the spirit and pumpkins [citation needed] the name of this would be given to them, which is as they are known today when the party arrives.)
The children travel in search of treats probably link to the Dutch tradition of the Feast of St. Martin.
Jack the miser
The origin of the famous carved pumpkins comes from a Celtic legend (halfway between Ireland and Scotland) Jack "The Cheapskate" a farmer who cheated and lied to neighbors and friends. This behavior got him all kinds of enemies but also a reputation of someone so evil that would rival Satan himself.
El Diablo, who came the sound of soul as black, came to see if indeed it was a rival of similar size. Disguised as a normal man he came to town and began to drink with him for hours, revealing his identity after seeing that it was indeed a true villain. When Lucifer said he came to take him to pay for their sins, Jack asked him one more round together as a last wish. The Devil gave him but to go pay neither had money, so Jack challenged Lucifer to become a coin to pay the round and show their power. Satan did, but instead of paying the currency Jack put it in his pocket, where he wore a silver crucifix. Unable to get out the Devil ordered the farmer to let him free, but Jack would not return unless they promised not to bother to hell for a year.
After that, the Devil appeared again at Jack's house to take him back to the underworld but Jack asked for a last wish, in this case that the Devil cogiera an apple placed on top of a tree in order to have your last meal before torment. Lucifer agreed, but when I was in the tree Jack carved a cross on its trunk so he could not escape. This time Jack asked not to be disturbed in ten years, plus another condition: that he could never claim his soul to the underworld. Satan agreed, and Jack was free of the threat.
Their fate was no better: after death (long before those ten years agreed), Jack was preparing to go to heaven but was stopped at the gates of San Pedro, preventing him over because they could not accept their bad past life being sent to Hell. Unfortunately for him there could not accept due to the treatment he had made with the devil, and he expelled him from his kingdom and sentenced him to wander the roads with a hollow turnip with a burning coal inside and only light to guide his eternal wandering between the realms of good and evil. Over time the Stingy Jack was known as Jack of the Lantern or Jack of the Lantern ", the name was shortened to the final" Jack O'Lantern. " This is the reason for using turnips (and later pumpkins, to be larger and easier to carve) to light the way to the dead on Halloween, and the reason for decorating homes with these horrendous figures (to avoid call Jack the doorsteps and propose Trick or Treat).
