    Fun fact: the original “pumpkins” were actually turnips because we didn’t have pumpkins in Ireland. These look wayyyyyy scarier. They’re a bit harder to carve but look amazing. If anyone’s looking for something to do in quarantine I’d give it a go
    And also a couple of really old people have actually asked me to sing/dance or recite poetry before I get my “treat”. As this was still done in Ireland until maybe 40 years ago.

      It came from the Catholic Church, which wanted to make important celtic festivals into Christian ones (like with Christmas). So, they tried to rebrand it as a "Hallowed Evening", or "Hallowe'en". (Hallowed = Holy.) That's why it's also called All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

      @@heysiriselfdestruct5050 Halloween is a christian spinoff of a traditional ancient pagan holiday called Samhain. Its the day the god dies and passes into the afterlife, and the veil between the afterlife and the mortal world thins. So deceased family members can come visit you. its a day of love and celebration and honoring, its not spooky. Its like a funeral and a welcome home party in one holiday. It is also considered the pagan new year. Samhain isn't about scaring people. Its a christian interpretation to make fun of pagans.
