Halloween is a great day for parties. Children dress up as witches, ghosts or vampires, and

they go from house to house playing TRICK OR TREAT. But what’s the origin of this custom?

Halloween means Hallows’ Evening. It is the evening before All Hallows’ Day (now called

All Saints Day), a Christian holiday, celebrated on the 1st of November. But that day was
important already in ancient times. On the 1st of November, Celtic peoples celebrated the
festival of Shamhuinn, which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year.

“How come a Christian and a pagan holiday are celebrated on the same day?” you might ask,

“Is it just a coincident?” – No, it isn’t. When Christianity spread, the Church tried to disturb the
pagan customs as little as possible, and so they merged their festivals with pagan ones.

It was widely believed that on Hallows’ Evening the dead would rise from their graves to

roam the earth. Afraid of evil spirits, people therefore either wore ugly masks to frighten those
spirits away, or they stayed at home saying prayers. Some would also go from house to house,
begging for ‘soul cakes’, square pieces of bread with currants. In return they promised to pray
for dead members of the donors’ families.

Going from house to house, begging for sweets – doesn’t that sound familiar? Indeed, that’s

the origin of TRICK OR TREAT. Be aware, however, as the custom has changed! Nobody is
going to pray for you nowadays. Instead, if you don’t have a TREAT for the children in front of
your door (some sweets for example), they will most likely play a TRICK on you – that’s what
TRICK OR TREAT is all about.
