Dayton, Ohio, United States – October 31, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Tama Martial Arts school Celebrate 39th Year Halloween with the kids last night. Students of Tama and their family members and friends helped celebrate the traditional Halloween here in the USA. Although, the customs in some many other countries like the Philippines celebrate differently. Here in the USA, the kids and even adults dress up for the occasion. The old tradition was from honoring their ancestors– family members who have gone before them. They had a tradition of giving food to the spirits of their ancestors. And also later, they gave the food to poor people. The idea of giving food started the “trick-or-treating concept.

Halloween is an old tradition in Ireland and Scotland. In those countries, people dressed up and carried lanterns made of turnips. When people moved from Ireland and Scotland to the United States, they started using pumpkins. Thus,where the jack-o’-lantern started.

In many Western churches, it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is also known as All Hallows Tide, All-Hallowmas, or All Hallows’ Day. It is called, “All Saints Day. All Saints’ Day is a celebration of all Christian saints, particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant churches. At Tama martial arts school, Halloween was celebrated in a different way. By the way, of Halloween custom contest and piñata breaking.

Many Christians observed All Saints’ Day in many countries around the world. In countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Mexico, offerings are made on this day. In countries such as Belgium, Hungary and Italy people bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives. In other parts of Europe, such as Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania, it is customary to light candles on top of visiting graves of deceased relatives. Also observed in parts of Asia, such as the Philippines, where people visit graves of deceased relatives and clean or repair them. They also lay flowers on the graves and light candles. Filipinos would prepare some food to offer to their deceased ancestors. Filipino family members would pray for deceased to have peace and blessings.

In France church and other countries churches, services in memory of all the saints are held on November 1 but by the evening the focus turns towards the dead. Everywhere cemeteries are crowded with people who come to clean and decorate family graves. All Saints’ Day is closely tied with All Souls’ Day, held on November 2, is the day for prayers for the dead who are not yet glorified.

However, many Christians observe All Saints’ Day in these and other countries. A public holiday in many countries on All Saints’ Day but not exclusive to Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, Croatia, France, Some parts of Germany, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and parts of Switzerland.

However, it is not celebrated as a public holiday in countries like United States, Canada, United Kingdom or Australian

Retrospect: The chosen date for the event, November 1, may have been an attempt to supplant the pagan Festival of the Dead (also known as Samhain or the feast of Saman, lord of death).

According to some sources, the idea for All Saints’ Day goes back to the fourth century when the Greek Christians kept a festival on the first Sunday after Pentecost (in late May or early June) in honor of all martyrs and saints. Other sources say that a commemoration of “All Martyrs” began to be celebrated as early as 270 CE, but no specific month or date is recorded. Pope Gregory IV made All Saints’ Day an authorized holiday in 835 CE. All Saints’ Day is not to be confused with All Souls’ Day, which was first instituted at the monastery in Cluny in 993 CE and quickly spread among Christians.

Tama Martial Arts celebrated Halloween on their 39th year in Dayton, Ohio with their students and family by way of trick or treating custom contest. The children enjoyed themselves presenting their customs to be judged by their peers. Tama students are given candy treats and prizes for the 5 top custom Halloween dresser by Grandmaster Taningco. The children then proceeded to line up for the so-called “piñata” occasion to be able to hit with a stick in their hand with their mind intent since it is full of candy treats. Kids went wild and so exhilarated on watching each student take turns in trying to hit the piñata blindfolded. At Tama, kids celebrated in a safe environment with their family members watching. These children had a great time celebrating Halloween the way it is celebrated here in the USA.
