The Origins of Halloween

The traditions of carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and wearing costumes have roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.

The festival marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

Over time, these traditions incorporated aspects of All Saints Day and All Hallows Eve, which eventually became known as Halloween.

Other Halloween traditions include bobbing for apples and pranking.

The History of Trick or Treating

Trick-or-treating for candy is a beloved tradition on Halloween in America.

It has its roots in the 16th century practice of  "Souling" where people dressed up to impersonate the dead and accept offerings to guarantee good fortune.

In the 1930s and 1940s, children were given homemade treats like cookies, cake, fruit, nuts, coins, and toys.

Candy manufacturers started promoting their products for Halloween in the 1950s, as a way to stimulate candy sales in the fall.

By the 1970s, wrapped, factory-made candy became the norm due to safety concerns.
