The History of Hallow
say that this was the start of trick-or-treating. There are other stories that claim
trick-or-treating started when people started giving cakes in return for prayers
being said for their dead relatives on All Souls' Day in England. Instead of just
getting cakes, children began visiting their neighbours to look for food, drinks
and money as well.
How Halloween Was Brought to Australia
The tradition of Halloween was brought to Australia by the immigrating
Europeans. Some of the traditions changed slightly. For
example, on Halloween in Europe, some people would
carry lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins
were more common than turnips Americans began putting
candles inside them and using them as lanterns. That is
why you see jack-o'-lanterns today. Jack-o'-lanterns have
evolved from being a lantern used in America to a popular
Halloween decoration und the world, including Australia.
Halloween Traditions in Australia
Halloween is no longer considered a religious holiday. It is mainly a celebration
for both children and adults. The most common Halloween tradition is to
dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. Instead of only
wearing frightening costumes, it is now just as common to see people dressed in
other costumes.
Australian children sometimes attend a Halloween disco or party at school,
dressed in costumes. Another popular Halloween tradition is to go trick-or
treating This is when children go from house-to-house, knocking on doors and
saying, "Trick or treat!" The person who answers the door gives the children a
treat to eat. Some neighbourhoods come together to decorate their front lawns
with a spooky theme to get into the Halloween spirit.
Is Halloween Relevant to Australia?
Some people believe that Halloween shouldn't be celebrated in Australia. This is
because over the years it has become commercialised and is sometimes viewed
as primarily an American holiday. Some people also believe it is just an excuse
to play pranks and cause trouble in the neighbourhood. For example, if a person
does not give trick or treaters a lolly, they sometimes have eggs or toilet paper
thrown at their house. There are valid points for both sides of this argument.
