Takulandilani kumapeto kwa ulendo wathu kudzera m'mbiri ya Halowini!

Nthawi idapita, monga sizolowera kuchita, ndipo anthu aku Europe adayamba kuyenda kuwoloka nyanja ndikupanga madera omwe adawapeza kumeneko. M'madera khumi ndi atatu oyambilira a United States, zipembedzo ndi zikhulupiriro zidakhazikika kuti zigwirizane ndi anthu omwe amakhala kumeneko.

Ku Virginia, komwe amakhala ambiri achingerezi okhala achipembedzo cha Anglican Achiprotestanti, adadzichotsa Oyera, koma adasunga masiku a All Saints 'and All Souls Days. Zinali zachilendo m'malaibulale aumwini a mabanja a Virgine kupeza mabuku ofotokoza za nyenyezi, matsenga, ndi kuwombeza limodzi ndi Baibulo la banja. Anasakaniza zikhulupiriro zauzimu ndi zachipembedzo ndipo, patapita nthawi, adakwanitsa kupangitsa kuti Tchalitchi cha Anglican chizindikire masiku a Miyoyo Yonse ndi Oyera Mtima Onse ngati zikondwerero zolemekeza akufa.

Ku Pennsylvania, pansi pa chizolowezi cha Quaker chololera zipembedzo zonse, ochokera ku Ireland ndi ku Germany amaphatikiza zikhulupiriro zaku Celtic zomwe zimachitika nthawi zambiri ndikukondwerera Halowini kunachuluka mpaka pakati pa zaka za m'ma 1700 mwachikhalidwe. Apa, kuposa gulu lina lililonse, amatsenga amtundu wina ndi zikhulupiriro zina zauzimu sizinangolekerereredwa, koma zimalimbikitsidwa. Kuyatsa moto wamoto monga momwe makolo awo adachitira, ngakhale sizinali zachilendo, ndichinthu chomwe chidachitika. Ndizodabwitsa kwambiri, kuti miyambo yotereyi imatha kupitilizidwa ndi miyambo yapakamwa yokha. Kupyolera m'magulu onse omwe adakumana nawo omwe adayesetsa kuti zikhulupiriro zisakhale kutali, adapirira ndikudzuka mdziko latsopanoli.

Maryland idakhalabe Akatolika pachiyambi, koma kenako adalandidwa ndi Oyeretsa. Iwo adaletsa kukondwerera maholide aliwonse monga All Saints ', All Hallows, kapena All Souls Days. Zosangalatsa kwa inu, adaletsanso Khrisimasi chifukwa amadziwa kuti tsiku lokondwerera lidakula pamiyambo yachikunja komanso m'malo mokondwerera zachikunja. Ulamuliro wawo udakhala pano mpaka 1688 pomwe adatsitsidwa ndipo Angerezi adabwereranso kuderalo.

Ndiye tili ndi chiyani apa? Ochokera kudziko lonse la Europe abwera pamodzi ndikusakanikirana ndikupanga chikhalidwe chawo komanso miyambo yawo. Pakati pa izi, mchitidwe wa Mischief Night udayamba kufalikira madera onse ndipo pamapeto pake, United States. Madera amabwera paphwando lalikulu m'nyengo yophukira, ndipo achinyamata am'deralo amathamangira zovala, akusamba mawindo ndikusewera pamasewera achikulire. Ndipo ngakhale anali ndi mayina osiyanasiyana (Nut Crack Night, Apple Night, inde, Halloween), kuzolowera kunayamba kulowa m'malingaliro a anthu ndipo usiku wachisangalalowu udakhala gawo la moyo wawo wonse.

Munali munthawi ya Victoria pomwe tidayamba kuwona zifaniziro zomwe timagwirizana ndi Halowini. Mfiti zonyamula tsache zokhala ndi khungu lobiriwira ndi mphuno zamatope zimakokedwa pamiyala yawo, kuyitanitsa mizimu ya akufa. Manyuzipepala ndi magazini adapereka malangizo amasewera achipani komanso momwe angajambule "O" Lantern "woyenera" kuchokera maungu. Nthawi yonseyi, zoyipa zidalamulirabe kwambiri pomwe achinyamata amapeza njira zatsopano komanso zosangalatsa zosekerera anzawo usiku uno.

Pofika koyambirira kwa 20^th zana, opanga ku US anali kupanga zinthu makamaka za Halowini. Zodzikongoletsera ndi zovala zimatha kugulidwa m'masitolo panthawiyi, ngakhale zinali zofala kwambiri kumadera akumidzi kuti munthu azipanga ndi zinthu zake kunyumba.

Chochitika chomvetsa chisoni panthawiyi chidabwera pomwe a Ku Klux Klan adaganiza zogwiritsa ntchito Mischief Night ngati usiku kuti akwaniritse zolinga zawo. Nyumba ndi mipingo zidawotchedwa ndi gulu lankhondo, losankhana mwa kunamizira kuti achinyamata achita zoyipa. Sizinachitike mpaka pomwe a Boy Scout atalumikizana ndi magulu onga ma Kiwanis ndi ma Club a Lion kuti apange chinyengo kapena kuchitira usiku kuti holideyo idachotsedwa m'manja mwa amuna oyipa awa ovala zoyera pomusintha usiku wachisokonezo mpaka usiku wa zosangalatsa zopanda pake. Izi zidathandizidwanso ndi Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse pomwe achinyamata adauzidwa kuti kuwononga zinthu sikusangalatsanso. Kuphatikiza apo kunali kusasamala komanso kusakonda dziko kuwononga katundu wa wina, makamaka pomwe ambiri anali kuvutika kuti azipeza zofunika nthawi yankhondo.

M'zaka za m'ma 1970, mantha ambiri adadza pa holideyi. Miseche inachenjeza kuti maswiti ndi maapulo atha kuthiridwa poizoni ndi cholinga chovulaza ana pa Halowini. Pasanafike nthawi ino, ngati mulibe ndalama zambiri, mutha kupanga maswiti kapena mipira ya popcorn kunyumba kuti mugwiritse chinyengo kapena othandizira. Osati choncho pambuyo poti mphekesera izi zidayamba kuuluka. Anagulidwa m'sitolo, atakulungidwa kale maswiti kapena palibe chilichonse. Chofunikanso kwambiri kudziwa kuti palibe kamodzi, ndipo sindikutanthauza ngakhale nthawi imodzi, sipanakhalepo cholembedwa chokhudza mwana yemwe ali ndi poizoni kapena mwana akudulidwa ndi lezala lobisika mkati mwa apulo. O, ndikudziwa kuti tonse tamva nkhanizi, koma sizinachitike. Mukuwombera malingaliro anu, sichoncho?

Munali mzaka za m'ma 1990 pomwe Halowini idadzipezanso ikuyang'ana mbiya yatsankho lachipembedzo. Magulu achipulotesitanti okhwima, panthawiyi, adayamba nkhondo yawoyokha ndi Halowini. Anatinso linali tchuthi cha satana… kuti linali loipa… kuti limakweza ziwanda podzionetsera ngati masewera achichepere… kuti… dikirani… sindinalembe kale izi? Inde inde… inde, ndidatero! Mukuwona, mzaka za m'ma 1990, tinabwera modzaza, pomwe iwo omwe akufuna kulamulira gulu lina la anthu amayamba ndikuwukira malingaliro awo ndi tchuthi. Koma, ngati pali chilichonse chomwe taphunzira paulendo wathu m'masabata angapo apitawa, ndiye kuti Halowini imapitilira. Amasintha, amasintha, ndipo amabisala pakafunika kutero, koma amapirira.

Izi zikutifikitsa masiku ano, owerenga. Halowini idakalipo, mpaka lero, tchuthi chodziwika bwino ku US ndi Ireland, ngakhale chikufalikira kumayiko ena. Ndikukhulupirira kuti mwasangalala ndi ulendowu momwe ndasangalalira nawo. Ndipo koposa zonse, ndikufunirani Halowini wosangalala kwambiri 2014!
