Trick or Treating

Trick or treating is a custom that has been passed down through the centuries. It was started as a way to keep evil spirits at bay. Over the years the tradition has evolved and become more mainstreamed.

During the ninth century people during droughts and times of disease out break, people would wear masks over their mouths. They believed that doing this would scare off evil spirits. During this time there was another tradition in which beggars would go from house to house and get soul cakes or money, for every soul cake received they would pray for the dead.

In today’s society millions of children go out to collect their treats and of course some go out to do their tricks.
