Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en is an ancient celebration deriving from a mixture of pagan ideas,folklore and religion.

It originally began with the Celts and their celebration of the end of the Celtic year on November 1st.This date marked the end of theis 'season of the sun' and the disappearance of the sun god whom they worshipped as winter beagn.By lighting cooking fires in their homes,the ancient celts hoped to keep the good luck symbolised by the spirit of the light with them through the winter months.

When the romans invaded Britain in the first century,they brought with them the festival known as Pomona Day,named after their goddess of fruits and gardens.THis is where the tradiation of eating toffe apples on Halloew'en comes,form.Try it out with the recipe below!

When the Christian reliigion spread throught Europe and Britain,November 1st became a church holiday to honour all the saints,known as All Saints Day.On the eve of this day,people celebrated with big bonfires and parades and dressed up as saints,angels and devils to honour the dead.

Today,all these influences have marged into what we know as Hallowe'en when many people have parties and play Hallowe'en hames,such as dunking for apples.The aim of the game is to remove an apple from a basin of water whilst keeping your behind your back,so you can only use your teeth- it's more difficult than it sound!

Hallowe'en is also a very popular day in America. Children dressip as witches and ghosts and ho 'trick or treating.' They call at their neighbours' homes and ask for a treat,suchas sweets or toffe apples -if no treat is given the children will play a misheivous trick!
