Once upon a time. The fairytale we all heard as children begins A little girl has to go through the forest by herself to take food to her sick grandmother. She is seen skipping the forest, with a basket filled with goodies, wearing a red hooded cape. (Like Superman's-only smaller.)
The "Red" is scared when she meets up with the big bad wolf. The "Red" is asked by the wolf where she is going. She answers the wolf that she is going to her grandmother's house and even tell the wolf how to go there. The big bad wolf tells the "Red" the opposite direction so as to let he go to the house in advance.
Originally the tale aims to tell children that they should not enter a road that they are not familiar with. It will be very dangerous.
There is also a historical background of Halloween. It is the scariest festival during a year. People usually celebrate Halloween on 31 October.
Halloween was originated from a religious day known as Samhain in Ireland in order to celebrate the end of the harvest. People donated crops ad animals to the Gods with fire and then they hoped for peace and protection in return.
It was believed, on Samhain night, dead people were allowed 24 hours to roam the earth. Some of these were evil spirits, and that is where the scary costumes came in. The idea was to frighten the dangerous ghosts away before they could do harm. People disguised themselves in animal heads, as witches, and goblins.
November 1st is known as All Saints Day, aka All Hallow's Day. Hallow means 'sainted ones'. This religious day was started to take away the power the Samhain pagan ritual had over the Irish people. Samhain - became known as All Hallow's Eve. Samhain is pronounced Sah-ween- is where the 'ween' part comes from.
On the eve of Samhain, the Celts placed nuts and berries on their doorsteps, these treats were to trick the supernatural guests from entering their homes.
Along with the moving of Irish people to America, the spirit of Halloween was also brought to America.
