On this day, believers trek through remote countryside, begging for "soul cakes" made of flour and raisins from village to village. It is said that those who donate cakes believe in the prayers of the church monks and hope to receive God's protection and allow their deceased relatives to enter heaven as soon as possible. This tradition of begging from door to door has evolved into a game today where children carry pumpkin lanterns and go from door to door asking for candy. So there is a custom of eating candy on Halloween. What do Halloween spiders mean?Speaking of spiders, I believe everyone will think of spiders weaving webs.The spider's web is associated with time, progress, and the passage of fate, and the spider's web is an excellent example of nature's symbolism of the cycle of life. Plus, spiders love dusty, dark places, and you're guaranteed to find lots of spiders and webs in abandoned houses (a favorite Halloween haunt). Where did the idea of witches and ghosts on Halloween originate?This is how the idea of witches and ghosts being everywhere on Halloween began. In some isolated parts of Europe there are still people who believe this is true.Today, throughout Europe, people see Halloween as an opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival simply to praise the autumn scenery, but turn it into a real "carnival". Face painting is one of the traditional activities of Halloween. |
