Halloween originated 2000 years ago among Celtic pagans in Ireland, England, and France. They celebrated Samhain on October 31st, when spirits of the dead were believed to return to Earth. People wore costumes to avoid recognition by ghosts. As Christianity spread, the holiday was changed to All Saints' Day on November 1st. Today, children dress in costumes and go trick-or-treating from house to house receiving candy, continuing ancient traditions involving food and costumes on this holiday.
In this presentation, you will learn a bit about the history of Halloween and a bit more about its origin, traditions, folklore, and LOTS more.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Origins
Halloween began two thousand years ago
in Ireland, England, and Northern France
with the ancient religion of the Celts
(Paganism).
3. They celebrated their New Year
on November 1 .
st
This day marked the beginning of the
dark, cold winter, a time of year that was
often associated with human death.
4. Samhain ( sow-in)
On the night of October 31, they
celebrated Samhain, when it was believed
that the ghosts of the dead returned to
earth.
6. So they wore costumes.
This way, the ghosts couldn’t recognize
them!
7. The Christian Influence
As the influence of Christianity spread
into Celtic lands, in the 7th century, Pope
Boniface IV introduced All Saints' Day, a
time to honor saints and martyrs, to
replace the Pagan festival of Samhain. It
was observed on May 13th.
8. A change of date
In 834, Pope Gregory III moved All
Saint's Day from May 13th to Nov. 1st. Oct.
31st thus became All Hallows' Eve ('hallow'
means 'saint').
9. All Souls Day
November 2nd, called All Souls Day, is the
day set apart in the Roman Catholic
Church for the commemoration of the
dead.
10. Trick-or-treating began with the poor in the
15 century…
th
During the All Souls Day festival in England,
poor people would beg for “soul cakes,” made
out of square pieces of bread with currants
Families would give soul cakes in return for a
promise to pray for the family’s relatives
11. then children…
The practice, which
was referred to as
"going a-souling" was
eventually taken up
by children who
would visit the houses
in their
neighborhood and be
given ale, food, and
money.
12. Today:
Children still go from house-to-house,
but instead of ale, food, and money, they
get candy.
13. With Irish Immigration…
In 1848, millions of Irish emigrants
poured into America as a result of the
potato famine. They brought with them
their traditions of Halloween.
14. Halloween came to America.
They called Halloween Oidche Shamhna
(`Night of Samhain'), as their ancestors
had, and kept the traditional
observances.
15. The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish used to carry turnips with
candles in them to light their way at night
and to scare away ghosts..
16. When they arrived in America they found
that pumpkins were both plentiful and easier to carve
than turnips.
