Have you ever thought about the history of Halloween? How did it start and what do the various activities that have become such a celebrated part of Halloween represent?
I venture to say that most people do not know where it originated and the true history of this unusual observance. And, yes, it has become a time for dressing up in all sorts of costumes and partying, and of course, for children, trick-or-treating for candy. Importantly, I believe that parents should know the true history as it is not an innocuous time celebration for children.
My faith-based children’s book tells the true history of Halloween and I’m sure that you will learn a lot! It’s titled It’s Not About You, Mr. Pumpkin – A Love Letter About the True Meaning of Halloween. In writing the book, I did quite a bit of research and described how the activities that are the core of Halloween developed and what they represent. Also available are a coloring book and a teaching kit with a lesson plan filled with educational material to help your children learn in-depth about the country of Ireland, where Halloween originated.
