00:00Every October 31st, millions of people dressed up as ghosts, hand out candy to strangers,
00:04and said glowing gorgeous in their portals.
00:07Almost nobody stops to ask why, and the real answer is tender than it is a scoffy holiday.
00:11Halloween is what is left after two completely different festivals, collided and merged,
00:16and one of its most famous symbols did not even start as a pumpkin.
00:19Most people have heard that Halloween is an ancient pagan festival, but historians say
00:23the real story has two parents, not one, and somehow the popular version is closer to legend
00:27than documented fact.
00:28By the end of this video, you will know where Halloween actually comes from, why it falls
00:32on October 31st, and why we call pumpkins, which it turns out, is a story that begins with
00:37a wealth where nobody falls and more.
00:39The growing jacqueline in old reproach is tied to a folk wheel about a man who trick the
00:43devil.
00:43We will get to exactly how that legend ended up on a pumpkin.
00:46But first, we have to go back to where the holidays have began.
00:49Halloween's usuals to replace back to Samhain, a garlic festival held around October 31st
00:54to November 1st.
00:54It marked the end of the harvest and the start of about half of the year, and it was believed
00:58to be a time when the country between the devil and the devil came.
01:01People lit one fires in gold itself, partially to ward off on their spirits.
01:04Historians point out that much of what is written about Samhain was recorded centuries
01:08before.
01:09So, some details are reconstructedly relevant of romantic topics.
01:12The second parent is Christian.
01:13Let yourself remember first as All-Sims Day.
01:15A few is honoring sins, and Hallows is an old one for sins.
01:19The evening before became Hall Hallows Day, which was relatively shortened into the word
01:23Halloween.
01:23What is clear is that over many centuries, this tradition blundered into one.
01:27So why do we celebrate with costumes and candy?
01:29Who older customs spread into it?
01:31Insulting poor people in Britain and Ireland, went door to door on or around Hall of South
01:35Street, offering prayers for dead in extreme fast monkeys.
01:38Engaging people dress in disguises, and perform songs or tricks for drinks.
01:42Both are widely seen as ancestors of modern trick or treating, though its exact origin still
01:46argued over.
01:47Now, why do we carve pumpkins?
01:49The name Jack O'Lartain comes from an orange folk tale about a man nicknames Tinky Jack,
01:53who tricked the devil and was later accused into the word heaven and hell.
01:56Condemned to wander in the dark, they carried only a burning coat inside a hallowed hot burning.
02:00In Ireland and Scotland, people carve scary faces into their myths, and set them near doors and windows
02:05to ward off wanting spirits like death.
02:07So how did turnips become pumpkins?
02:08In the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought the customs to North America.
02:12Yet the found pumpkins are planted native to the Americans, but plant full and apart
02:16easy to carve on ten stone.
02:18The pumpkin took over, and the American version became the one world now for commences.
02:22So back to our question, why do we celebrate Halloween?
02:24Not because of one issue to do it, but because a harvest has been.
02:27A Christian holy decree, and a handful of old customs, were planted together over a thousand
02:32years, and reshared again by immigrants which have returned from a pumpkin.
