Answer 2

It's the day before all saints day, when we celebrate the ones who have passed on , either that year or years before. All Hallows Eve, I believe started as a pagan ritual. However in the 20 th century it became Hallowe'en a time for children to go out and beg treats or play not nasty tricks on friends and family. Fifty years ago children carried boxes for UNICEF to collect pennies to help children, this was just recently discontinued and that's too bad as it helped kids focus on someone more than themselves, despite the fun of the evening.

Sickos putting stuff in candy and grabbing kids' bags put an end to the type of Hallowe'en I knew as a child , where we'd get home made goodies and the big kids would take around their younger brothers and sisters in the various neighbourhoods. The motorized brigades were just becoming popular when I quit trick or treating in the late sixties.

Answer 3

Unless the children go to the grave yard after trick or treating and bite the heads off live bats its just a kids celebration. Origin is All Hallows Eve.......I am A Christian and was never banned from trick or treating, My children enjoyed it also and I have hosted many childrens halloween parties. Some churches have costume parties so the kids have a safe enviroment for halloween...............................

Answer 4

Halloween originated among the Celts in Ireland, Britain and France as a pagan Celtic harvest festival.

Answer 5

As far as I know halloween was originally a pagan holiday like most christian holidays. I don't think it is evil. Especially not these days I think it has turned from whatever it's original purpose was into a day for children.
