The origins of haloween
Storyboard Tekst
- Ahhh this place scares me but before I left, you knew that more recent studies established that bonfires and a celebration of good harvests were also characteristics of the pagan celebration. But this theory is based on scant evidence and some historians have pointed out that the celebration changed from region to region, from country to country and, between mute and mute, even altered its meaning.It is not clear whether the movement, which also made it mandatory the religious celebration for all Catholics, was an attempt to "Christianize" Samhain.
- The origins of the halloween
- The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain.
- OAHHH samhain lasted three days and began on October 31. According to some scholars, it was a tribute to the "King of the dead."
- Historians of the 18th century had already linked Halloween to an ancient pagan festival: a Celtic ritual called Samhain that celebrated the end of summer and the arrival of the short, cold days of autumn.
- Uffff now that I am calmer I will tell you how Halloween is currently as we know it. Good took shape between 1500 and 1800. A cabbage taken from the ground could give clues about the work or the personality of the future partner. Walnut shells were also "read". Food was an important component of the celebrations and one of the most characteristic habits involved children who went from house to house singing rhymes or praying for the souls of the dead. In return, they got cakes that represented the liberation of a soul from purgatory. Bonfires were very popular then: they were used to burn straw (remember that Samhain celebrated the end of the harvest season), but also as a ritual to "repel" witchcraft and disease. Another tradition was the exercises in futurology and divination: people predicted the name of future partners and even the date when they would die. Those divination rituals took many different forms.
- Well I think the people of that house do not like my presence much but anyway since I am in another house I will tell you how the Halloween tradition came across the sea to the United States. During the Great Famine (1845-49) in Ireland, which was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, more than a million people emigrated to the United States. They took their history and traditions with them, and it's no coincidence that the first mentions of Halloween on American soil appeared shortly after that exodus. In 1870, for example, a women's magazine published an article describing Halloween as an "English holiday."
