Legends of Halloween

Legendary stories of Halloween include Jack's Lantern, The Day of All Souls, The Dead Soul of an Old Friend and so on.

1. Jack's Lantern

It is said that there was a man named Jack who loved to drink. He made a bet with the devil and cheated him. However, when Jack died, his soul was refused to enter heaven and the devil refused to enter hell. The devil only gave him a burning coal. Jack put the coal into a hollow radish to light his wandering road in the dark. This story later evolved into the tradition that people use pumpkins to make lanterns.

2. Day of All Souls

According to legend, the custom of Halloween began in the Christian church in Europe in the 9th century. At that time, on October 2, it was called "ALLSOULSDAY" by Christians. According to legend, on this day, believers trudged through the backcountry, begging from door to door for "cakes of the soul" made of flour and raisins. It is said that people who donate cakes will get God's blessing and let their dead relatives enter heaven as soon as possible. This tradition of begging from house to house has spread to today and evolved into a game in which children hold pumpkin lanterns for candy.

3.

Legend has it that since 511 BC, Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved this festival forward by one day, that is, October 31th. They think that this day is the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the harsh winter. At that time, people believed that on this day, the dead soul of the deceased would return to the former residence to look for living beings, so as to be reborn, and this was the only hope for people to be reborn after death.
