Places were set at the dinner table to appease and welcome the spirits. Gaels would also offer food and drink, and light bonfires to ward off the evil spirits. The origins of trick or treating and dressing up were in the 16th century in Ireland, Scotland and Wales where people went door-to-door in costume asking for food in exchange for a poem or song. Many dressed up as souls of the dead and were understood to be protecting themselves from the spirits by impersonating them. The Christian origin of the holiday is that it falls on the days before the feast of All Hallows, which was set in the eighth century to attempt to stamp out pagan celebrations. Christians would honour saints and pray for souls who have not yet reached heaven. In Our Indian tradition, we perform rituals during Shraddha, 'Pitru paksha', Mahalaya amavasye etc. Mahalaya is the last day of the Pitra Paksha or the period when Hindus offer homage to their deceased ancestors. It is the day of remembrance for the deceased forefathers. The ritual of 'Tarpan' is performed on this auspicious day.
