The origin and custom of Halloween. What traditional food do you eat for Halloween?

Halloween was originally a festival to honor the dead. This is a traditional trick-or-treating, dressing up and carving pumpkin lanterns. Traditional Halloween foods are pumpkin pie and caramelized apples.

Halloween culture can be traced back to Druidism, a culture that exists in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Druidism originated from Sawin Festival, and Sawin Festival on June 365438+1October 3 1 day is also an annual festival to commemorate the dead. Savannah Festival symbolizes "late summer" or early November. Sawin Festival is also a harvest festival, marking the alternation of the old and the new in a year. On this day, people will light sacred bonfires to celebrate the festival.

The custom of trick-or-treating originated in Ireland centuries ago. At that time, the poor will knock on the door of the rich and beg for money, gifts and food to prepare dinner on the eve of Saint's Day. The poor gather the food they beg for so that they can celebrate this grand festival.

Drivers will wear carefully sewn leather clothes and dress up as ghosts and demons when lighting bonfires to celebrate Sawin Festival, so that real ghosts can't recognize them. That's how Halloween ghost costumes come from. On this day, carters will dance, tell stories and predict the future.

Jack's fate is miserable because he played a trick on the devil. After his death, he can't go to heaven or hell, and he is destined to wander the world. Jack hollowed out carrots, put a burning charcoal in it and made lanterns to drive away demons. Nowadays, people make Jack lanterns with better cut pumpkins, light them and hang them at the door for the same purpose as Jack.
