One common game is <a href="/wiki/Apple_bobbing" title="Apple bobbing">apple bobbing</a> or dunking (which may be called "dooking" in Scotland)<a href="#cite_note-201">[201]</a> in which apples float in a tub or a large basin of water and the participants must use only their teeth to remove an apple from the basin. Variants of dunking involve kneeling on a chair, holding a fork between the teeth and trying to drive the fork into an apple, or embedding a coin in the apple which participants had to remove with their teeth. Another common game involves hanging up treacle or syrup-coated <a href="/wiki/Scone" title="Scone">scones</a> by strings; these must be eaten without using hands while they remain attached to the string, an activity that inevitably leads to a sticky face. A similar game involved hanging an apple from a string with a coin embedded; the coin had to be removed without using hands.

Hutton argues that Rhys had no substantiated documentary evidence for claiming that Halloween was the Celtic new year, but inferred it from contemporary folklore in Wales and Ireland. Moreover, he argues that Rhys: "thought that [he] was vindicated when he paid a subsequent visit to the Isle of Man and found its people sometimes called 31 October New Year's Night (Hog-unnaa) and practised customs which were usually associated with 31 December. In fact the flimsy nature of all this evidence ought to have been apparent from the start. The divinatory and purificatory rituals on 31 October could be explained by a connection to the most eerie of Christian feasts (All Saints) or by the fact that they ushered in the most dreaded of seasons. The many "Hog-unnaa" customs were also widely practised on the conventional New Year's Eve, and Rhys was uncomfortably aware that they might simply have been transferred, in recent years, from then Hallowe'en, to increase merriment and fundraising on the latter. He got round this problem by asserting that in his opinion (based upon no evidence at all) the transfer had been the other way round." ... Hutton points out that Rhy's unsubstantiated notions were further popularised by Frazer who used them to support an idea of his own, that Samhain, as well as being the origin of Halloween, had also been a pagan Celtic feast of the dead—a notion used to account for the element of ghosts, witches and other unworldly spirits commonly featured within Halloween. ... Halloween's preoccupation with the netherworld and with the supernatural owes more to the Christian festival of All Saints or All Souls, rather than vice versa.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Treat+or+Trick%3F+Halloween+in+a+Globalising+World&rft.pages=91-92&rft.pub=Cambridge+Scholars+Publishing&rft.date=2008-12-18&rft.isbn=978-1-4438-0265-9&rft.aulast=O%E2%80%99Donnell&rft.aufirst=Hugh&rft.au=Foley%2C+Malcolm&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Barr2016-23">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Barr2016_23-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Barr2016_23-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBarr2016" class="citation news cs1">Barr, Beth Allison (28 October 2016). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/10/28/guess-what-halloween-is-more-christian-than-pagan/">"Guess what?

From emphasizing dead souls (both good and evil), to decorating skeletons, lighting candles for processions, building <a href="/wiki/Bonfire" title="Bonfire">bonfires</a> to ward off evil spirits, organizing community feasts, and even encouraging carnival practices like costumes, the medieval and early modern traditions of "Hallowtide" fit well with our modern holiday. So what does this all mean? It means that when we celebrate Halloween, we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots. But, while those roots are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, their historical connection to "paganism" is rather more tenuous.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+Washington+Post&rft.atitle=Guess+what%3F+Halloween+is+more+Christian+than+Pagan&rft.date=2016-10-28&rft.aulast=Barr&rft.aufirst=Beth+Allison&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Facts-of-faith%2Fwp%2F2016%2F10%2F28%2Fguess-what-halloween-is-more-christian-than-pagan%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-24"><a href="#cite_ref-24">^</a> <ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMoser2010" class="citation web cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source">Moser, Stefan (29 October 2010). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140317122059/http://search.salzburg.com/display/SNZ41-2922809130.10.2010">"Kein 'Trick or Treat' bei Salzburgs Kelten"</a> (in German).

That's the eve of All Saints Day, or All Hallows Day, as it was popularly known in Britain. As with Christmas Eve and the Easter vigil, the celebration of All Saints Day began with a service the night before, on All Hallow's Eve. With All Souls Day on November 2, it formed the feast of Allhallowtide. All Saints Day began in fourth-century Rome as a festival honoring Christian martyrs. By the eighth century, it was expanded to all those remembered as saints, and the date of its observance was moved from May 13 to November 1. That move, of course, put it smack dab on top of Samhain in Britain. But the decision to move the date was not made in Britain; it was made in Rome, where there was no Samhain or anything like it. There is no evidence that any Samhain customs rubbed off on Halloween anywhere because there is no evidence of any Samhain customs at all.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Keeping+Christmas%3A+Finding+Joy+in+a+Season+of+Excess+and+Strife&rft.pages=47&rft.pub=Wipf+and+Stock+Publishers&rft.date=2019&rft.isbn=978-1-5326-9537-7&rft.aulast=Hopwood&rft.aufirst=James+A.&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-rogers_religion-48">^ <a href="#cite_ref-rogers_religion_48-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-rogers_religion_48-1">b</a> Rogers, Nicholas. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=stWZ_UDteMIC&pg=PA22">Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night</a>. <a href="/wiki/Oxford_University_Press" title="Oxford University Press">Oxford University Press</a>, 2002. pp. 22, 27. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/0-19-516896-8" title="Special:BookSources/0-19-516896-8">0-19-516896-8</a>. </li> <li id="cite_note-49"><a href="#cite_ref-49">^</a> New Proclamation Commentary on Feasts, Holy Days, and Other Celebrations (Bill Doggett, Gordon W.

Perhaps the most common traditional Halloween costume is that of the ghost. This is likely because ... when Halloween customs began to be influenced by Catholicism, the incorporation of the themes of All Hallows' and All Souls' Day would have emphasized visitations from the spirit world over the motifs of spirits and fairies. ... The baking and sharing of souls cakes was introduced around the 15th century: in some cultures, the poor would go door to door to collect them in exchange for praying for the dead (a practice called souling), often carrying lanterns made of hollowed-out turnips. Around the 16th century, the practice of going house to house in disguise (a practice called guising) to ask for food began and was often accompanied by recitation of traditional verses (a practice called mumming). Wearing costumes, another tradition, has many possible explanations, such as it was done to confuse the spirits or souls who visited the earth or who rose from local graveyards to engage in what was called a Danse Macabre, basically a large party among the dead.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Ghosts+in+Popular+Culture+and+Legend&rft.pages=145&rft.pub=ABC-CLIO&rft.date=2016&rft.isbn=978-1-4408-3491-2&rft.aulast=Pulliam&rft.aufirst=June&rft.au=Fonseca%2C+Anthony+J.&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-rogers57-75">^ <a href="#cite_ref-rogers57_75-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-rogers57_75-1">b</a> Rogers, p. 57 </li> <li id="cite_note-CarterPetro1998-76">^ <a href="#cite_ref-CarterPetro1998_76-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-CarterPetro1998_76-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFCarterPetro1998" class="citation book cs1">Carter, Albert Howard; Petro, Jane Arbuckle (1998).

It served the new church by giving an acceptable Christian basis to the custom of dressing up on Halloween.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Halloween%3A+An+American+Holiday%2C+an+American+History&rft.pages=19&rft.pub=Pelican+Publishing+Company&rft.date=1998&rft.isbn=978-1-4556-0553-8&rft.aulast=Bannatyne&rft.aufirst=Lesley&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Morrow2001-84"><a href="#cite_ref-Morrow2001_84-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMorrow2001" class="citation book cs1">Morrow, Ed (2001). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://archive.org/details/halloweenhandboo00morr/page/19">The Halloween Handbook</a>.

These were common during the Middle Ages all across Europe. The featured players dressed as saints and angels, but there were also plenty of roles for demons who had more fun, capering, acting devilish, and playing to the crows.

Each did so on a hill near its homestead, one person holding a large bunch of burning straw on the end of a fork. The rest in a circle around and prayed for the souls of relatives and friends until the flames burned out. The author who recorded this custom added that it gradually died out in the latter part of the century, but that before it had been very common and at nearby Whittingham such fires could be seen all around the horizon at Hallowe'en. He went on to say that the name 'Purgatory Field', found across northern Lancashire, testified to an even wider distribution and that the rite itself was called 'Teen'lay'.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Stations+of+the+Sun%3A+A+History+of+the+Ritual+Year+in+Britain&rft.pages=369%2C+373&rft.pub=Oxford+University+Press&rft.date=2001&rft.isbn=978-0-19-157842-7&rft.aulast=Hutton&rft.aufirst=Ronald&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-100"><a href="#cite_ref-100">^</a> O'Donnell, Hugh and Foley, Malcolm. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=oKsLBwAAQBAJ&dq=halloween+tindle+derbyshire&pg=PA35">"Treat or Trick?

On major feast days, they would have an extended service of readings (scriptural, patristic, and from lives of the saints) in addition to chanting the psalms. This all would be done in the dark, of course, and was an opportunity to listen carefully to the Word of God as well as the words of the Church Fathers and great saints.

It was invented in 2000, in leafy Chertsey, Surrey, when perhaps 1,000 people took part. Now it is a worldwide movement, popular in Africa and the United States. The heart of the Night of Light is an all-night vigil of prayer, but there is room for children's fun too: sweets, perhaps a bonfire and dressing up as St George or St Lucy. The minimum gesture is to put a lighted candle in the window, which is in itself too exciting for some proponents of health and safety. The inventor of the Night of Light is Damian Stayne, the founder of a year-round religious community called Cor et Lumen Christi – heart and light of Christ. This new movement is Catholic, orthodox and charismatic – emphasising the work of the Holy Spirit.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+Telegraph&rft.atitle=Here%27s+to+the+Soulcakers+going+about+their+mysterious+mummery&rft.date=2010-11-06&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fcomment%2F8114025%2FHeres-to-the-Soulcakers-going-about-their-mysterious-mummery.html&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHalloween" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Armentrout-252"><a href="#cite_ref-Armentrout_252-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFArmentroutSlocum1999" class="citation book cs1">Armentrout, Donald S.; Slocum, Robert Boak (1999). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=y_RpbmWNfHcC&pg=PA7">An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church</a>.
