Halloween originated in Ireland and is a night that celebrates the dead. It involves costumes, trick-or-treating, and traditional sweets like pumpkins. The word Halloween comes from the Scottish phrase "All Hallows' Eve" meaning the eve of All Saints Day. Trick-or-treating has been a Halloween tradition in North America since the 1920s where children go door-to-door to receive candy from homeowners. There are many foods associated with Halloween including candy apples, candy corn, pumpkin pie, and soul cakes.
