A a Gay -5� a a will Al by Andrea magus eau Media coordinator halloween was once taken very seriously you d never see a cute Little bunt Blence or a fairy Princess. Halloween was for adults Only a and not Tor fun. Quot All hallows eve Quot was first celebrated by the cells in Ireland in the fifth Century . They believed that everyone who died the previous year had to inhabit the body of an animal or person before passing onto the afterlife. The cells believed that these disembodied spirits gathered on oct 3 1. 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 bad two distinct purposes 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 costumes such As demons and witches. Then the townspeople marched around their cold dark houses being As noisy and destructive us possible. Once the inside of a Home was Glt xxx and Messy the noise and destruction were curried the Yard. Finally the townspeople gathered at the Bonfire. Anyone suspected of Demon Possession was thrown into the lire As a lesson to other spirits not to attempt to possess a human. The romans adopted the celtic halloween but outlawed human sacrifice. Instead they threw Elti Gies into the Bonfire. A a a a a a a part of the halloween tradition we still keep is the Jack Oman tem. 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 clip no Doivan. 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 barred from hell because of what he d done to satan. Condemned to the darkness of limbo he begged satan Lor some his Way. Jack was Given a single Ember which he put in a turnip that he had Fiol Lowed 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 Minimi Grants came to America the agriculture forced them to use pumpkins instead of Mips. _ us through the centuries belief in spirit Possession has faded and halloween prac lines have become a sort of ritualized amusement.
