I know it's hard to believe, seeing as so many 'Christians' seem to think that Halloween
is a satanic holiday, but it's true.
The custom of going from house to house began in the Ninth Century,
when early Christians (not satanists) celebrated All Souls Day by walking from town to town begging for "soul cakes" - square pieces of bread with currants. The more they got, the more
prayers they could say on behalf of dead souls in limbo waiting for passage to heaven.
And now it's mutated into kids looking for candy, and their parents sending prayers that
they won't have to go to the dentist...
