"Harmless tricks grew into outright vandalism"

This also describes tiktok

He said sowin 😂😂

There was no 'calculated move' to merge the Christian festivals of All Saints and All Souls with the Irish pagan festival of Samhain.
In Rome All Saints was celebrated on 13th May but by 800 some churches in England and Germany were observing the festival on 1st November (perhaps they felt that the gloomy season suited the sombre nature of the festival rather better than a sunny May). But as Samhain was not celebrated in either country suppressing the pagan festival was clearly not the motive for choosing the date.
And to reinforce that point the Irish Church celebrated All Saints Day on 20th April. The Church clearly felt no threat from whatever remained of the old festival of Samhain.

Why did they think fires would keep spirits away? You could argue fire is actually closer to a spirit world

Theyre not even Saints 😂 this is ridiculous

So, basically it is a pagan festival that merged with cristianity.

oh nah

Wow.

This evil

Great video i have gathered such a knowledge about halloween. It will be helpful to my presentation.❤

Please present proof that Halloween originated with Samhain. Also, please provide proof that Samhain was on Oct. 31st.
You can’t.

So the one that should do the tricking are the children, not the house owner.

All this time, I thought the "trick or treat" is for the house to have an option to either give a treat or trick the children.

It makes sense now.

OG is making me watch this

Halloween was never pagan it was simply just a tradition

The costumes were to scare the undead spirits also

There is nothing Christian about ghouls and goblins. The definition used to be" All witches eve" I don't know where this came from but witches have always gathered on Holloween.. not HAllowweeen. Its a Pagan Hoiday.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Game of devil in 2022???

From communion with the dead to pumpkins and pranks. Halloween is a patchwork holiday stitch together with cultural, religious and occult traditions that spanscenturies. It all began with the Celts a people whose culture had spread across Europe more than 2,000 years ago. October 31st was the day they celebrated the end of the harvest season in a festival called Samhein. That night also marked the Celtic New Year and was considered a time between years: a magical time when the ghosts of the dead walked the earth. It was the time when the veil between death and life was supposed to be at its thinnest. On Samhein the villagers gathered and lit huge bonfires to drive the dead back to the spirit world and keep them away from the living. But as the Catholic Church's influence grew in Europe it frowned on the pagan rituals like Samhein. In the 7th century the Vatican began to merge it with a church sanctioned holiday. So November 1st was designated All Saints Day to honor martyrs and the deceased faithful. Both of these holidays had to do with the afterlife and about survival after death. It was a calculated move on the part of the church to bring more people into the fold. All Saints Day was known then as Hallowmas. Hallow means holy or saintly, so the translation is roughly "mass of the saints". The night before October 31st was All Hallows Eve which gradually morphed into Halloween. The holiday came to America with the wave of Irish immigrants during the potato famine of the 1840s. They brought several of their holiday customs with them including bobbing for apples and playing tricks on neighbors like removing gates from the front of houses. The young pranksters wore masks so they wouldn't be recognized. But over the years the tradition of harmless tricks grew into outright vandalism. Back in the 1930s it really became a dangerous holiday. I mean there was such hooliganism and vandalism. Trick-or-treating was originally a extortion deal: give us candy or will trash your house. Store keepers and neighbors began giving treats or bribes to stop the tricks, and children were encouraged to travel door-to-door for treat as an alternative to troublemaking. By the late 30s trick-or-treat became the holiday greeting.

Basically people are celebrating the dead

God Americans annoy me
