The listing, <):Soul Cakes: A Haunted Halloween Tradition:(> has ended.
These are sooooo Very delicious!
Trick or treating has long been a tradition that brightens up the dark holiday of Halloween for children worldwide. However, this fun and festive tradition was not always as lighthearted as it is today. Modern tradition dictates that children dressed in costumes who are brave enough to knock on doors of houses that are decorated in frightening décor are rewarded with sweet treats of tootsie rolls, caramels, and if you are lucky enough full sized candy bars. But this is not the way that this tradition began. It began with the distribution of an eighth century treat known as Soul Cakes.
At the beginning of the Christian era in Britain, when the ways of Pagans were still widely accepted, Christians wanted to incorporate some of the Pagan traditions of Samhain into their own religion in an effort to convert the practicing Pagans. Samhain was the beginning of the dark half of the year and was celebrated on what later became known as All Soul’s Day. The name of this holiday has undergone reconstruction throughout the centuries, changing to All Hollow’s Evening, All Hollow’s Even, All Hollow’s Eve, and finally Halloween.
All Listia rules apply.
No buyers remorse.
HAPPY BIDDING TO ALL!!!
