Table Talk about the History of Halloween came right on time! It was wonderful talking to everyone at the table about the different versions of Halloween in different countries. We learned about the start of Halloween began with the Celtics tribe putting food outside their door to keep the dead from coming into their homes. They would also use masks to go outside to hide from death! During the Medieval Era, people would give homeless beggers food in exchange for them praying on behalf of the person’s dead loved ones.  I thought it was so cool to see the transition of beliefs into a holiday that Americans spend roughly 6 billion dollars on every year. I am so excited for Halloween, now that I know the history behind the holiday!
