The day after All Hallows Eve is called? All Saints Day. But actually Samhain was to celebrate the transition from the "light months" to the "dark months". It at this transition that the veil between the realms (think "hell") was dropped, and the spirits and fae would invade our world. Likewise, there's Beltane that celebrates the other transition, at the end of April, and it's usually accompanied with bonfires, lakes, and much debauchery. So next question: What's the origin of the Jack-o-lantern? Edited by briderdt 2012-10-31 11:31 AM |

Elite 2729 Puyallup, WA | Subject: RE: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Halloween Trivia... briderdt - 2012-10-31 9:29 AM So next question: What's the origin of the Jack-o-lantern? I had to google it...since no one else was answering... According to the history channel, it was named after "Stingy Jack" who tricked the devil into not taking his soul. However, God wouldn't let him in heaven so the Devil sent him off into the nigh with a burning coal, as light, and Stingy Jack put that into a turnip and continues to wonder the night... Next question: I think this is a bit easier...Who was the actress in Halloween? ("The Original") And what was the villains name? |

Mondays child is fair of face, Tuesdays child is full of grace, Wednesdays child is full of woe, Thursdays child has far to go, Fridays child is loving and giving, Saturdays child works hard for his living, And the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay. |
