All Hallows Eve ... aka All Saints Eve, Allhalloween, or just plain "Halloween". Most of us have fond memories of holding out a bag and yelling the traditional "Trick or Treat" while sweet treats and goodies were added to our stash. However, this sacred day has deep roots in history and tradition which often includes candles in the observance.
People in many parts of the world attend church services on All Saints Eve and place lit candles on the graves of their dearly departed. In Ireland, as early as the 19th Century, candles would be lit and prayers formally offered for the souls of the dead. Also, in some areas of Ireland, England, and Austria, candles are burned in every room on All Hallows Eve to guide souls back to visit their earthly homes. You also might find candlelit processions on this day, leading to the grave sites of departed loved ones, where the family will spend the entire night burning candles to light the way for the soul of their departed loved one. In Finland, candles are placed with flowers at the head of gravestones in preparation for the many who come to light a candle for lost loved ones on All Saints Day.
Many observing Halloween traditions in Ireland carve a turnip rather than a pumpkin to represent their Jack-O-Lanterns.
