We go trick or treating and eat candy for Hallowee

We go trick or treating and eat candy for Halloween, but do you know why?

Many believe this can be traced back to the practice of the soul cake, or soulmass-cake. 🍪 👻 Traditionally these small round cakes are designed with crosses made from currants and were made to commemorate the souls of the dead.

It is believed these cakes were originally created in the communal bonfires during Samhain and left out as offerings to the dead, or any spirits that had been condemned to roam the earth.

During the middle ages this practice was adapted by Christians during Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. During this time children would then go “souling”, which is the ritual of begging for the cakes door-to-door. The soulers would sing laments for the dead and say prayers for the souls trapped in purgatory in exchange for these cakes.

There are still places that follow these traditions in many parts of the world
