Happy Halloween / all saints day!

HALLOWEEN is present in our lives as part of the English-speaking countries' culture. But what kind of celebration is Halloween? Do you think Halloween is a pagan tradition? You are categorically wrong.

In Europe during the IX century, on the all saints day, poor Christians went begging, asking people for food. They asked for some sort of sweet bread, and in exchange, to thank those who helped them, they preayed for the souls of the dead members of the family that had given them the goods. that would help them to go to Heaven as soon as possible.

Is it similar to our beliefs and our culture? Now it's time for being a detective. Have a look at this webpage
