The history of the feast

The history of Halloween began many times ago in the lands of modern Britain and Northern France.

This territory was inhabited by Celtic tribes. They divided the year into two parts - winter and summer.

Throughout the winter the Sun God was a prisoner of LORD OF THE DEAD, and THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS.

There was the Celtic festival Samhain on November 1^st .

The ancient legend says, in this night the door to the other world opens, and the dead come to the earth.

Then Romans conquered Celtic territory. They brought their own traditions.

Later the traditions of the Samhain and two Latin holidays mixed: Feralia (dedicated to the memory of the dead) and Pomona (Pomona - goddess of tree fruits)

In the IX century, when Christianity came on the territory of the United Kingdom, these ancient traditions mixed with another holiday - the Day of All Saints - ALL HALLOWS EVEN.

Later it became known as Halloween.

Nowadays people have got a lot of funny traditions. left of that festival.

A symbol of Halloween - pumpkin-head.

They put the Lights Jack in front of their houses during the Samhain.

Jack – who is he?

The Irish people have got a myth about greedy Jack, who trick the devil twice.

When Jack died, God sent Jack’s soul back to earth and gave him coals instead of eyes.
