Trick or treat ?
A very popular expression, more often heard in American films, "a candy or a spell" is said in English "trick or treat".
This is the phrase that kids on a candy hunt say when they ring the doorbell to collect Halloween candy.
You will have understood, if they recover sweets or treats all is well, on the other hand if the person does not give anything, beware of reprisals.
But then, where does this expression come from and why is it used?
To understand, you have to go back a little in the history of the Halloween party and its origins.
They are Celtic.
Several centuries ago, October 31 marked the beginning of winter in northern European culture, that is to say countries such as England, Ireland, Scotland but also France.
That evening, the people celebrated the god Samhain.
To honor him, they disguised themselves with animal skins and made offerings to him.
Samhain was the god of death, he informed the deceased of the previous year of their new destination: hell, paradise and even reincarnation.
People's disguises were also meant to hide from the spirits in transit that night.
As for the expression “trick or treat”, it comes to us from Ireland.

The families then had the choice, give or expose themselves to the risk of reprisals such as theft or a bad trick.
One of the most popular tricks was to throw hot cabbages through the locks, once very wide, in order to infest the houses with a very unpleasant smell.
It is to England that we owe the beginnings of the famous Halloween candies.
Wealthy families used to prepare “soul cakes” to reward the prayers of poor families who came knocking on their doors.
Over the centuries,
By the way, do you know why Halloween is called Halloween?
This festival takes place on All Saints Day, a time when we pray for our dead and celebrate the saints.
The term "Mass of all saints" or "All hallows mass" was then used.
To talk about the previous night, we said "All hallows eve" which ended up becoming "Halloween".
