AS TRADITION, ON HALLOWEEN NIGHTMANY BOYS AND GIRLS DRESSED UP GOFROM DOOR TO DOOR ALL OVER THESTREETS ASKING FOR “TRICK OR TREAT”TO RECEIVE SWEETS AND CHOCOLATES.THIS TRADITION HAS BEEN FOMENTED BYFILMS, BOOKS, STORIES… BUT WHAT ISACTUALLY ITS ORIGIN?ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THIS POPULAR TRADITION AND WHY ITCAME UP, THERE IS STILL DEBATE. ON ONE HAND, IT’S BELIEVEDTHAT THE ORIGIN DATES BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES; QUITE THEOPPOSITE, THE ORIGIN COMES FROM CELTIC CULTURE TOO.AT THE TIME OF THE MIDDLE AGES, POOR PEOPLE WENT FROMHOUSE TO HOUSE ASKING FOR CHARITY IN EXCHANGE FORPRAYING FOR THE SOULS OF THE DEAD RELATIVES OF THEOWNERS.. OVER THE CENTURIES, AT THE END OF THE XIXCENTURY, THE CUSTOM OF GOING TO HOUSES DRESSED UP BEGAN.SINCE THEN, PRAYERS WERE REPLACED BY SONGS AND JOKES, ANDFROM THERE AROSE THE CURRENT "TRICK OR TREAT" THAT WEALL KNOW.THE OTHER BELIEF OF THE TRADITION RELATES THAT IN THEPAST, DURING HALLOWEEN NIGHT, ANY KIND OF BEINGS FROM ANYSPIRITUAL KINGDOM COULD WANDER AROUND EVERYWHERE.THERE WAS ONE WHO WAS ESPECIALLY MEAN, JACK O’LANTERN -OUR NEW FRIEND FROM THE LAST PAGE. HE WENT FROM DOOR TODOOR SAYING “TRICK OR TREAT”. ACCORDING TO TRADITION, ITDID NOT MATTER WHAT THE DEAL COST, IT WAS BETTER TOFULFILL IT IN ORDER NOT TO FALL FOR ITS TRICK. JACK CURSEDTHE HOUSE AND ITS RESIDENTS, WHO SUFFERED ALL KINDS OFMISFORTUNES IF THEY DID NOT ACCEPT HIS DEAL.THE EXPRESSION “TRICK OR TREAT” IS ACTUALLY A BADTRANSLATION FROM ENGLISH. “TRICK” MEANS A SCARE (SUSTO) ORJOKE (BROMA) INSTEAD OF “TRUCO”, WHEREAS “TREAT” MEANS ASWEET (DULCE) OR GIFT (REGALO) INSTEAD OF “TRATO”.
