 The Pumpkin: Carving
pumpkins dates back to the 18th century and to an Irish blacksmith named
Jack who colluded with the devil and was denied entry to heaven. The story
goes that he was condemned to wander the earth, but asked the devil for some
light. He was given a burning coal ember which he placed inside a turnip
that he had gouged out. The tradition of Jack O'Lantern was born. Villagers
in Ireland hoped that the lantern in their window would keep the wanderer
away. When the Irish emigrated to America there was not a great supply of
turnips, so pumpkins were used instead. |

Halloween Costumes:
The tradition of wearing costumes dates back to Celtic times. On the special
night when the living and the dead were at their closest, the Celtic Druids
would dress up in elaborate costumes to disguise themselves as spirits and
devils in case they encountered other devils and spirits during the night.
By disguising they hoped that they would be able to avoid being carried away
at the end of the night. This explains why witches, goblins and ghosts
remain the most popular choices for the costumes. |

Colcannon for Dinner:
Boiled Potato, Curly Kale (a cabbage), and raw onions are provided as the
traditional Irish Halloween dinner. Clean coins are wrapped in baking paper
and placed in the potato for children to find and keep |
|
|
The custom of 'trick
or treat' was founded in Ireland when children and the poor went from door
to door at Halloween and sang songs or offered prayers for the ouls of the
dead in return for food. This food was usually a soul cake which was a
flattened bread that contained fruit. This tradition was known as 'Souling'. |
