10. Today's costume conveys the inner illusion, but it started with a more strictly started purpose. One of the earliest examples of people wearing costumes comes from Hello Mass, a ceremonial mass dedicated to prayer for the dead. People appealed to their ancestors from happy marriages to fertility, and costumes were part of it.
Until the Victorian era, dress-up ideas never really became mainstream, but many of them began with Robert Burns' poem "Halloween". Originally, the best costumes were creepy, but not surprising at all. Since the Victorian people were obsessed with spirituality and the afterlife, pioneering ghost costumes made many logical senses.
9-When Halloween becomes sexy
Since Halloween is horrible, when did you start dressing as a sexy nun or sexy policeman?
When dressed up, people can push the boundaries. There was virtually no such thing until the 1970s. It all began with the convergence of the gay community's gorgeous culture, feminism, women's empowerment, and the Halloween parade leveraging this new freedom. Halloween was a day we could run away with something that would never be accepted the other day, and we never looked back.
8- Halloween and poison candy
We have already told that it is almost a complete myth to give poisoned Halloween candy to unprotected children, but at 1950 Halloween we saw countless children getting sick. After a fateful October night, many children began experiencing gastrointestinal problems, welts, and rashes. Many people became ill and drew attention from the FDA. Although FDA was already approved by the government in 1906, the orange dye [and 6 other types of food color] used products resulting from the processing of coal and contained toxic chemical benzene. It wasn't until Halloween that enough children ate sick enough to get sick and get the FDA's attention.
Tests have confirmed that it is actually the pigment that causes the disease and that it is not used very often to kill rats. Dyes are banned and FDA regulations have been modified to include color additives in the list of food ingredients that need to be disclosed on the label.
7- National Youth Honor Day
Today, the “trick” part of trick or treat is almost harmless, but it has not always been. In Omaha in the 1920s, there were so many vandalism that 500 teenage boys received the badge for only one night. In 1938, Boston awarded the school district with the least damage. In 1948, Long Island's doctor's house was devastated by today's money to a $ 100,000 song, just one example of the Halloween riots that occurred in North America in the 1940s.
In 1950, the Senate Justice Committee completely abolished Halloween and agreed to National Youth Honor Day, as riots, vandalism, and [in some cases] racial motives were severely exacerbated. Halloween enthusiasts decided that bridging their children with candy was a better way, and trick or treats became popular.
6- apple bobbing
Even if this is no longer part of most Halloween parties, the classic lineage of Halloween cannot be denied. One night, the idea returned to Celtic Samhain, not only when the dead roamed the earth, but also believed that the fortune telling that night was particularly effective. Because apples have always been closely linked to fertility and women's power, apple bobbing has become a more modern version that guides the wisdom of the dead. In some areas, girls marked apples before bob for her, and any apple they got was thought to predict their romantic future.
The apple was also thought to symbolize regeneration and lasting life, prospering in the fall and reborn again in the spring. The apple skin thrown to the ground by a girl was thought to show her the first initials of her future husband, and the magic of Halloween was infinitely powerful.
5-original Jack O Lantern
The roots of this tradition go back to the story of a man named Ancient Ireland and Jack. Jack made a mistake to trick the devil himself. Jack was cursed to walk the earth forever. And the only thing he had to guide the way was a turnip hollowed out with coal burning inside.
They were horrible and people started carving them and putting them around the house to drive away the evil spirits that had been walking the land overnight. Unfortunately, the turnip sculpture tradition fell to the roadside when Americans discovered that pumpkins were easier to carve.
4 The real danger of Halloween
What to worry about if you don't really have to worry about Halloween addicting candy? According to a survey conducted by the US government, Nationwide Children & # 39; s Hospital, and Safe Kids USA, the answer is simple. A car accident. On Halloween nights, an average of 5.5 pedestrians are killed in cars every year. In contrast, 2.6 people died on average on other days.
There are several reasons for this. Not only are people distracted by everything from other trick or treater groups to Halloween decorations, but movement and visibility are easily limited by costumes. At the same time, it is easy to travel with long flowing robes, and the kids are also out in an unfamiliar neighborhood on a strange street, which can all cause trouble for Halloween monsters.
3- A real deal with candy corn
Candy corn has been around since the 1880s and is one of the claims that most people hate. Those who love it will probably already know about the National Candy Corn Day, which is October 30th.
The candy corn recipe has not changed and is made with fondant, corn syrup, marshmallow cream, vanilla and sugar. In the early days, when each kernel was handmade, the original name was "chicken feed". The first year was designed to take advantage of the most familiar candy images in the American countryside. The relationship with autumn is not a coincidence. It was part of a group of candy that symbolizes the autumn harvest [including candy cubs, chestnuts and clover].
According to the National Confectionery Association, candy corn is a Halloween fun with 12 percent of the population.
2-Witch Cauldron
Cauldron's history and myths include more than agitation of potions brewed by witches.
Before Christianity, the cauldron symbolized the uterus of the universe. All life, energy, material, physical and spiritual things came from the cauldron and returned there at the time of death. It played a role in overseeing a permanent life cycle that all went well and strengthened the appearance of the elderly. According to ancient Irish lore, the cauldron was a territory of Dagda and was the source of all life, especially poetry. Until Christianity came, the old man did not have to hurt trust, and the cauldron was assigned the infamous role of brewing poison and medicine.
1-Halloween birthday
Research shows that anyone who has reached Halloween's birthday broke odds in a strange way. A study conducted by the Yale School of Public Health [data supported by an independent study conducted in Taiwan] found that births declined sharply at Halloween. It was not only a parturition or cesarean section, but a natural birth. After examining 1.8 million birth records over 20 years, we found that the birth rate dropped 11.3% on Halloween.
Science never explains this, but the people behind the study believe it is related to the general feelings of people on various holidays, and thus the subconscious. They also found a 5% increase in fertility rates before and after Valentine's Day, and suspect that for pregnant mothers, Halloween is causing severe chaos.
