halloween in the past

History of Halloween, like any other festival's history is inspired through traditions that have transpired through ages from one generation to another. We follow them mostly as did our dads and grandpas. And as this process goes on, much of their originality get distorted with newer additions and alterations. It happens so gradually, spanning over so many ages, that we hardly come to know about these distortions. At one point of time it leaves us puzzled, with its multicolored faces. Digging into its history helps sieve out the facts from the fantasies which caught us unaware. Yet, doubts still lurk deep in our soul, especially when the reality differs from what has taken a deep seated root into our beliefs. The history of Halloween Day, as culled from the net, is being depicted here in this light. This is to help out those who are interested in washing off the superficial hues to reach the core and know things as they truly are. 'Trick or treat' may be an innocent fun to relish on the Halloween Day. But just think about a bunch of frightening fantasies and the scary stories featuring ghosts, witches, monsters, evils, elves and animal sacrifices associated with it. They are no more innocent. Are these stories a myth or there is a blend of some reality? Come and plunge into the halloween history to unfurl yourself the age-old veil of mysticism draped around it.

Behind the name... Halloween, or the Hallow E'en as they call it in Ireland , means All Hallows Eve, or the night before the 'All Hallows', also called 'All Hallowmas', or 'All Saints', or 'All Souls' Day, observed on November 1. In old English the word 'Hallow' meant 'sanctify'. Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherians used to observe All Hallows Day to honor all Saints in heaven, known or unknown. They used to consider it with all solemnity as one of the most significant observances of the Church year. And Catholics, all and sundry, was obliged to attend Mass. The Romans observed the holiday of Feralia, intended to give rest and peace to the departed. Participants made sacrifices in honor of the dead, offered up prayers for them, and made oblations to them. The festival was celebrated on February 21, the end of the Roman year. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV introduced All Saints' Day to replace the pagan festival of the dead. It was observed on May 13. Later, Gregory III changed the date to November 1. The Greek Orthodox Church observes it on the first Sunday after Pentecost. Despite this connection with the Roman Church, the American version of Halloween Day celebration owes its origin to the ancient (pre-Christian) Druidic fire festival called "Samhain", celebrated by the Celts in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Samhain is pronounced "sow-in", with "sow" rhyming with cow. In Ireland the festival was known as Samhein, or La Samon, the Feast of the Sun. In Scotland, the celebration was known as Hallowe'en. In Welsh it's Nos Galen-gaeof (that is, the Night of the Winter Calends. According to the Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society: "Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess).(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as "Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer."(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a "lord of death" as such. Thus most of the customs connected with the Day are remnants of the ancient religious beliefs and rituals, first of the Druids and then transcended amongst the Roman Christians who conquered them.

THE GIRL OF THE HIDING PLACE.

It was a cloudy afternoon of November, had been with my friends, was the birthday of one of them at the villa of Los Santos de Maimona when I left home with my parents, I came to the house of one of my friends who would take us all to the field the one of them.

All were laughing and we were having a great time, first in the car, we were pretty tight, I had hit my window. I remember we were talking about a song you heard on the radio rather old one while I was speaking as he was looking out the window, the car's speed was not much but if you can say that we were going fast. We were approaching the area of the town, on the outskirts of town houses with gardens, flats, which typically have a wall of protection, especially those near the road.

Suddenly, we all shut up, not anything special, but because the conversation was over, period. Look out the window and quickly passing by a wall I thought I saw a face, not my imagination, but ... no, I had a feeling a little strange. We arrived at the field, we played soccer a bit but then we had to stop. The sky darkened and rain began to fall, we got into the area of ​​the tables, where we would have the snack something, as it was winter it was doing cold and then to the end gifts, and food went outside, had stopped raining and it was dark almost closed. We bored a bit and came up playing hide-night, as we had a great space, because of the soccer field was a large meadow with trees, bushes ... etc.

Everything was going great, we were having movie. It was a bit of bad feeling when you get to tell but as always I was near the idiot who does some cheat to win, as there was so scared. I almost always lost, until one time I play hide, I went far, far away from the rest of the group, almost to the limits of the town. She heard nothing, only the wind rocking the trees and the voices of my friends, not a passing car, NOTHING ...... crouched behind a bush I started having the feeling: I do not like, when I decided to leave the site and although we lost, stop being scared, but the wind suddenly stop but .... swings swung themselves .... and I was really starting to scare my surroundings faces, shadows .... I was about to go back with my friends when suddenly I hear a hiss of a child, a whistle with the same melody over and over and over and over ..... scared I ran with my friends and I told him everything, only one of them believed me, the other said it was an iron grating, but I assure you that what I heard was not anything like that, but it was the whistle of that child, we got in the car and away look out the window at the playground and there was ... a little girl dressed in a white nightgown, short black hair, the eyes were bright red and laughing while swinging on the swing looking at me, take your eyes and told the friend that I had thought .... I did not sleep that night at all and what little sleep I got that damn girl I dreamed of so many headaches that had caused me .... the question is: Who was that girl? Would you be living? because he chose me?
