Theme: https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/something-weird and https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/halloween-time
Welcome, dear friends, to a night full of lore,
A tale of old customs, traditions galore.
We’ll travel through history, both sacred and strange,
And witness how Halloween started to change.
It begins with the Celts, in fields turning brown,
As the harvest was gathered, and Samhain came ‘round.
A festival marking the year’s darker half,
When spirits could walk in the night’s eerie draft.
Bonfires were lit, and the veil became thin,
A time when the souls of the dead could slip in.
Costumes were worn to confuse wandering eyes,
To protect from the spirits beneath moonlit skies.
But then came the Church, with a feast of its own,
All Saints’ Day was born from the papal throne.
A time to remember the holy and pure,
To honor the saints who forever endure.
As faith reformed, on that October day,
The Reformers sought truth, clearing the way.
They stood on the Word, breaking tradition,
Reformation Day brought a new mission.
From ancient rites and the Church’s intent,
Halloween’s path to the present was bent.
Now children in costumes roam door to door,
Echoing customs from centuries before.
So join us, dear friends, in this tale we retell,
Of Samhain, the saints, and the Reformation’s swell.
From past into present, we’ll see how it grew—
The history of Halloween, presented for you.
