History and customs of Halloween

I read an article whose title is “History and customs of Halloween”

Comment
  1. I like to read this article although I never celebrate it in my custom and my religion. I like the way to celebrate Halloween with dressing up in all manner of ghoulish costumes then parading around the neighborhood to frighten somebody else. It is unique and interesting to do.
  2. Before I read this article, I just think that Halloween is only trick and treating. Now, I know that Halloween is also about prayers. In Halloween, Christians would walk from village to village begging for “soul cakes”, made out of square pieces of bread with currant. The more sour cakes the beggar would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of donors.
