What does Trick or Treat mean? "Trick or Treat" is a very attractive game and is loved by children every Halloween, especially in the US and some European countries. On this day, children will wear devil costumes, go in groups and carry baskets of candy, lanterns... to each neighbor's house. The children eagerly knocked on the door, waiting for the homeowner to open the door and happily shouted: "Trick or Treat!". "Trick" in English means trick, just a mischievous joke on Halloween. And "Treat" means to entertain, to treat kindly, in this situation it means giving candy. This saying means "If you don't want to be pranked, give us candy". Usually, the homeowner will smile brightly and generously give the children candy or cake. And then, the children went to "scare" other people's houses.
The Halloween Trick or Treat game originates from an ancient practice called "go Souling and Guiding". During the Middle Ages, poor people often had to go begging on October 31 to receive cakes and fruits from surrounding houses. Nowadays, children will dress up and go door to door asking for food or money. In return, the children sing hymns and pray for those who donate food or money as a way of giving thanks on behalf of the resting soul. This activity is called "Souling". "And "Guising" was a popular costume activity in Scotland in the 19th century. Children dressed as ghosts and wore masks on Halloween. It was believed that this was a time when the gap between the world Reality and the evil world are very fragile. At that time, souls can return to earth. To avoid harm, children need to dress up as scary things like demons.
People migrating from Scotland, England and Ireland to America brought this custom with them. Only when it came to America did Halloween truly become better known and spread throughout the world. Including the Halloween Trick or Treat custom.
