Trick-or-Treat!

Ever wonder where it all originated? The 'trick-or-treating' tradition is rumoured to have started in England. Parades would be held on what was then referred to as All Souls' Day. During these events, pastries called 'soul cakes' would be handed out to poor people. Eventually, the practice of 'going a-souling' extended to children who would visit homes in their neighbourhood in search of food, money and other treats.

Costumes on Halloween date back to European and Celtic traditions. The belief was that ghosts would walk the Earth on Halloween. In order to not been noticed by these spirits when leaving their homes, people would wear masks.

Go easy on the soul cakes this year and happy 'trick-or-treating'!
