Sapete davvero cosa significa questa festa?
Avventuratevi cliccando sui diversi link proposti
per scoprire cosa significa veramente la festa di Halloween.
You know that Halloween was a Celtic Festival brought to Usa by Irish and now it is celebrated all over the world in a superficial way.
We have studied it two years ago.
Maybe you don't know that this kind of festival was celebrated also in Piemonte and in other areas of Italy because Celts occupied Italy in ancient times.

Quindi anche se apparentemente sembra che la celebrazione di Halloween non ci appartenga, almeno nella classica usanza di mascherarsi e di esporre zucche vuote illuminate, in realtà la notte fra il 31 Ottobre e il 1° Novembre rappresenta una festività che risale alle nostre più antiche tradizioni.
La celebrazione cattolica di Ognissanti si è innestata sulla più ben antica festa di Samhain risalente agli antichi celti. Essi non vivevano solo nelle regioni nord occidentali dell’Europa, ma in tutta Italia vi sono stati parecchi insediamenti celtici. Ad esempio in tutto il nord Italia: dalla Valle d’Aosta al Piemonte, dal Veneto all’Emilia fino alle Marche.
Sappiate inoltre che tutti i nomi di città, fiumi e paesi che terminano in aco, ago, ico, igo (Giussago, Rovigo) in ate (Gallarate, Andrate), in visio o viso (Treviso, Monvisolungo) e in dubbio o uno (Belluno), indicano una presenza celtica che si è protratta abbastanza a lungo per lasciare il segno sulla denominazione di tali località.

Non c’è dunque da stupirsi se nella tradizione popolare piemontese siano presenti feste e usanze celtiche come anche quella di festeggiare Samhain.
Samhain è una parola celtica che letteralmente significa riunione o raccolto e indicava la fine di un ciclo e l’inizio di un altro.

THE LEGEND OF JACK O' LANTERN
It is an Irish legend, it tells the story of very bad man: Jack.
Jack is a gambler, he likes drinking, fighting, playing cards and he often cheats.
He doesn't work he spends all his time in pubs.
One day, he meets the Devil and he is afraid of him. He thinks the Devil wants to take his soul.
So, he decides to play a trick to the Devil. He asks the Devil if he can climb up on the top
of a tree very fast. The Devil answers "I'm very powerful, I can do everything!".
Jack challenges him: " I don't believe it! Show it to me!". Then the Devil climbs up on the top of a tree very fast to show Jack he is very powerful. Jack carves a cross on the wood body of the tree so the Devil can't go down. The Devil makes a promise to Jack: "If you let me go down, I will never take your soul." Jack accepts and he cancels the cross.
The Devil goes away.
One day during a fight Jack dies.
He goes to knock the Heaven's door but God refuses him because he is a bad man.
Then he goes to knock the Hell's door but the Devil sends him away because of the promise
and he forces Jack to wander in the darkness for ever.
Moreover, the Devil throws toward him some burning coal.
Jack picks it up and puts it in a big carved turnip to make
a lantern to light his way in the darkness.

RispondiEliminaGood morning Mrs Kontardo! Until a year ago I celebrated the festivity of HALLOWEEN with my family, particularly with my grandparents and my cousins. But this year I had to go to celebrate and to sleep from my best friend, however I had a setback, so I celebrated it with my parents and my brother. My grandparents are Calabrians and Sicilians, so they don't know the tradition of Samhain.
