Task 1. Read the text and circle True (T) or False (F) for the statements 1-6.
Hallowe’en
Hallowe'en is a popular festival in many countries all over the world, and every year it seems to get bigger. Find out some more about the
traditional festival of Hallowe'en.
The origins of the name
The festival of Hallowe'en has its (0)
roots
in Celtic and Roman
traditions. Over 2,000 years ago the Celts in Britain, Ireland and
parts of France celebrated Samhain to (1) mark the beginning of winter. When the Romans invaded,
they merged this with Feralia, their celebration of the passing of
the dead. As Christianity spread, the Church tried to replace these
pagan feasts with official Church holy days. One of these was
November 1. It was called All Saints Day, or "All Hallows", and
October 31 was known as "All Hallows' Eve", and then
Hallowe'en.
Hallowe'en traditions
In the past there was a tradition called
"souling". Poor people went around houses asking for food. In
exchange, they promised to say prayers for the dead. People no longer go
souling, but the habit has been transformed into a modern
Hallowe'en game for children in America, who dress up as ghosts,
witches and monsters and go around people's houses, asking for
sweets. This game is called ‘Trick or Treat’.
Witches
Hallowe'en wouldn't be fun without witches.
Witches have always been part of popular folklore. Shakespeare's
(2) play "Macbeth" opens with three witches. A witch was
someone - usually a woman - who had special powers and had dealings with the devil. The American town,
|
Salem, in the state of Massachusetts, is famous for the "witchcraft
trials", which took place there in 1692.
Pumpkins
The pumpkin is a symbol of Hallowe'en. People empty a pumpkin, cut
a face into the side, and put a candle inside. It's known as a Jack
O' Lantern, from an Irish legend about a man called Jack, who made
a deal with the devil.
