earth are inseparable certainly the apple aud the pump kin two farm products are popu larly associated with halloween but the farm is also the supplybase of all the necessary essentials of the feast even the humble cabbage apart from its culinary purposes has a peculiar significance at halloween for do not some maid ens sally forth in the darkness of the night to the cabbage patch to pick a stem in order to divine the characteristics of their future hus bands if the stem he tall or short or crooked so shall their future husband be 1 the pumpkin as a jaekolantern in the hands of a frolicsome lad is the improved canadian edition of the humble swede turnip in europe and to many a youth in canada the pumpkin is the symbol of hallowe en par excellence either for food or frolic ibut after ail the apple is more closely associated with the j feast than any other fruit or vege table there is a special reason for this in pagan times at the festival of pomona the goddess of fruit trees nuts and fruits particularly apples poma played an import ant part and originated the custom of roasting jiuts apple ducking aud the distribution of apples as gifts at this festive time the canadian boys who go from house to house asking for halloween apples are doing ex actly what little boys in other countries did three thousand years ago when adam was appointed to dress the garden of eden and to keep it genesis 1115 the apple was fated to be of overwhelming significance to the whole human race in this connection the legend of the apples of paradise figured in the lore of ancent egypt some 5000

iu the forefront of world research in the christian church halloween or all halows eve is the name given to the evening of the 31st of october as the vigil of hallowmass or ah saints day be fore the christian era however the eve of the 3 1st of october was the occasion of harvest aud other ceremonies in various countries the festivities which gradually gathered round the christian halloween originated for the most part in countries under the sway of the druid religion notably britain plus a indoor celebrations borrow ed from the pagan roman fejtival to the goddess of fruit the two chief characteristics of ancient halloween were the light ing of bonfires and the belief that halloween was the only night of the year in which ghosts warlocks witches imps of the earth and air and evil spirits were permitted to wander on earth on the 1st of november the druids held their great fall festival and lighted fires to the sungod in thanksgiving for harvest it was a firm belief in the religion of the druids that on the eve of this festival saman lord of death called together the wicked souls that had been condemned within the past twelve months to inhabit the bodies of animals with regard to this belief it is interesting to note that in parts of ireland the 31st of october was and even still is known as oidhche shamhna the vigil of saman inscotland bonfires otherwise known as haalfires still are part of halloween celebrations a relic of the worship of baal some cynics declare that the evil spirits of old druidieal times still exist in the shape of thoughtless youths who overstep the mark of pure fun at halloween and cause injury to persons and damage to property while the apple still holds its premier position in halloween festivities particularly in canada pumpkin
