HOW HALLOWEEN BEGAN


Does some thousands of years, the Celtas was in which now we know like the Great Britain and France, and celebrated the New Year the 1 of November, that is that began at night with the subject from the 31 of October. But, incomprehensible thing, did not drink alcohol as it is now custom, but that took it with much seriousness, and their priests dedicated the night to Samhain, the horseman of the death. Great bonfires ignited; horses and, some times, until humans were sacrificed to drive away to the witches and the malignant spirits; then it is that in the Celta custom the deads returned, at night from Samhain, to request foods to the provincial scared ones to those who victims cursed and did of their spells if they did not accede to his requests (or it give me or I do a prank to you, that is the translation of “Trick or Treat”).
