A a a a a a a. A. A halloween a a serious Holiday i a r Vav Quot a fir by Andrea Maglisceau Media coordinator i Lallow can was once taken very seriously. You a never see a cute Little Bumblebee or a fairy Princess. Halloween was Lor i lulls Only a ant not for fun. A fall hallows eve Quot was first celebrated by the celts in Ireland in the fifth Century b e. They believed that everyone who died the previous year had to inhabit the body a a of an animal or person before passing on to the afterlife. The cells believed that these disembodied spirits gathered on oct a. The celtic last Day of summer to choose the bodies they would possess. On this one night the celts extinguished All the fires to make their Homes cold and undesirable to the spirits. Outside a Druid priest lit a Bonfire. He , for this to Honor the Sun god for the recent Harvest and to frighten away the roving spirits. Meanwhile the townspeople were also occupied with frightening away the spirits and dressed themselves in hideous cos mics such As demons and witches. Then the townspeople marched around their cold dark houses being As noisy and destructive As possible. Once the inside of a Home was Good and Messy the noise and destruction were carried out to the Yard. Finally the townspeople gathered at the Bonfire. Anyone suspected of Demon Possession was thrown into the fire As a is son to other spirits not to attempt to possess a human. The romans adopted the celtic halloween but outlawed human sacrifice. Instead they threw effigies into the Bon a fire. A a a a _ a a part of the halloween tradition we still keep is the Jack of lantern according to legend there was a Man named Jack who was a Drunken Lazy bum. Somehow he tricked satan into climbing a tree then quickly carved a Cross into its trunk before the Devil could climb Dom. Jack kept satan treed until he promised never to tempt Jack to sin again. When Jack died he was barred from heaven because of his repeated sinning and hatred from hell because of what he d done to satan. Condemned to the darkness of limbo he begged satan for some Coal to Light his Way. Jack was Given a single Ember which he put in a turnip that he had hollowed out. The ancient celts mimicked this on All hallows eve by carving demons faces into hollowed out turnips then lighting candles inside them. When Irish immigrants came to America the agriculture forced them to use pumpkins instead of turnips. Through the centuries belief in spirit Possession has failed and halloween prac lines have become a sort of ritualized a amusement. Except if you believe. If you re not careful. If you Don t Lake All a hallows eve seriously they could get void. A a.
