The History of Halloween
Many years ago there were people called Celtics. They lived
in what is now called Ireland, England and France. Every year they
had a festival that marked the end of summer. They celebrated their
harvest.
On October 31st, some of the people thought ghosts
appeared. They would build bonfires and wear costumes to scare the
ghosts away. They also offered the ghosts things to eat.
These stories were told over and over in families. Some
time later, some of these families came to America. They brought
their stories with them.
Begging for treats may have come from England. On All
Saint’s Day the poor would beg for food, and the richer people would
hand out cakes. The Irish would carve potatoes and light them.

Today, Halloween is celebrated on October 31st in theUnited States. Many children dress up in costumes. Many families carve faces on pumpkins and light them. Children go from house to
house shouting, “Trick or Treat!”

Jack O'Lantern

The Irish brought the tradition of the Jack O'Lantern to America. But, the original Jack O'Lantern was not a pumpkin.The Jack O'Lantern legend goes back hundreds of years in Irish History. As the story goes, Stingy Jack was a miserable, old drunk who liked to play tricks on everyone: family, friends, his mother and even the Devil himself. One day, he tricked the Devil into climbing up an apple tree. Once the Devil climbed up the apple tree, Stingy Jack hurriedly placed crosses around the trunk of the tree. The Devil was then unable to get down the tree. Stingy Jack made the Devil promise him not to take his soul when he died. Once the devil promised not to take his soul, Stingy Jack removed the crosses and let the Devil down.

Many years later, when Jack finally died, he went to the pearly gates of Heaven and was told by Saint Peter that he was too mean and too cruel, and had led a miserable and worthless life on earth. He was not allowed to enter heaven. He then went down to Hell and the Devil. The Devil kept his promise and would not allow him to enter Hell. Now Jack was scared and had nowhere to go but to wander about forever in the darkness between heaven and hell. He asked the Devil how he could leave as there was no light. The Devil tossed him an ember from the flames of Hell to help him light his way. Jack placed the ember in a hollowed out Turnip, one of his favorite foods which he always carried around with him whenever he could steal one. For that day onward, Stingy Jack roamed the earth without a resting place, lighting his way as he went with his "Jack O'Lantern".
