Another Halloween is
here. My European pre-Christian ancestors believed this day was the fall
harvest celebration. After a hard year of farm work, the winter was on its way
and people had the food they needed to get by until next spring.
This was also a day
for many early European pre-Christian religions that believed souls of the dead
could cross over from the nether world and walk among us. Jack-O-Lanterns
decorated homes to keep out unwanted evil spirits. Scary masks served the same
purpose.
When Christianity came
to Europe, the early Christian Church attacked the older religions as “pagans”
and some early religious officials were burned as “witches.”
Today kids trick or
treat and adults go to parties. Both like to dress up as something either scary
or some person or thing they find interesting. We get to pretend we are someone
else. One thing that is interesting to dress up like past revolutionaries. This
year I decided to dress as Pol Pot. A few years ago I dressed as Joseph Stalin.
We don’t need the costumes to scar away evil spirits, but for me it is just a
tradition and a fun one.
I carved a pumpkin,
will hand out some candy, and go to a party. I like good scary movies and
songs, as the ones below. -សតិវ អតុ
