Origins
Halloween began two thousand years ago in Ireland, England, and

Northern France with the ancient religion of the Celts (Paganism).

Слайд 3

They celebrated their New Year on November 1st
This day marked the

beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Слайд 4

Samhain (sow-in)
On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain,

when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Слайд 5

Costumes
People thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left

their homes…

Слайд 6

So they wore costumes.
This way, the ghosts couldn’t recognize them!

Слайд 7

The Christian Influence
As the influence of Christianity spread into Celtic

lands, in the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV introduced All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs, to replace the Pagan festival of Samhain. It was celebrated on May 13th.

Слайд 8

A change of date
In 834, Pope Gregory III moved All Saint's

Day from May 13th to Nov. 1st. Oct. 31st thus became All Hallows' Eve ('hallow' means 'saint').

Слайд 9

All Souls Day
November 2nd, called All Souls Day, is the day

set apart in the Roman Catholic Church for the commemoration of the dead.

Слайд 10

Trick-or-treating began with the poor in the 15th century…
During the All

Souls Day festival in England, poor people would beg for “soul cakes,” made out of square pieces of bread with currants. Families would give soul cakes in return for a promise to pray for the family’s relatives

Слайд 11

then children…
The practice was taken up by children who would visit

the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.

Слайд 12

Today:
Children still go from house-to-house, but instead of ale, food, and

money, they get sweets.

Слайд 13

With Irish Immigration…
In 1848, millions of Irish emigrants poured into America

as a result of the potato famine. They brought with them their traditions of Halloween.

Слайд 14

Halloween came to America.
They called Halloween Oidche Shamhna ("Night of Samhain"),

as their ancestors had, and kept the traditional observances.

Слайд 15

The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish carried turnips with candles in them to light

their way at night and to scare away ghosts..

Слайд 16

When they arrived in America they found
that pumpkins were both

plentiful and easier to carve than turnips.

Слайд 17

Now, Jack-O-Lanterns are used for decorating people’s homes.

Слайд 18

People have recently started carving less traditional Jack-O-Lanterns

Слайд 19

Today people go to parties…

Слайд 20

Take their kids trick-or-treating.…

Слайд 21

And eat lots of sweets!

Слайд 22

If you don’t give a sweet to a trick-or-treater…

Слайд 23

This can happen to you!

Слайд 24

The End
Happy Halloween!
