RE: The History of Halloween - Is it a Trick, or a Treat?
My grandmother used to leave food out for departed souls on All Soul's Night, I always found it interesting.
(Funny story, one year my uncles ate the food left out for the departed souls not knowing what it was for, they were leaving for a weekend trip I believe, so my grandmother didn't know it was them. When the food was discovered missing it raised some eyebrows, until the culprits came home and owned up.)
That's really interesting! Did she ever explain to you more about this tradition? (Funny story indeed ;))
I didn't/don't know much about the tradition tbh, we weren't really that close either... It is very interesting how some modern traditions originated though :)
