"Young men painted their faces and went to villages for mischief"
That is oddly similar to an old obscure tradition in Black Sea.At the day of kalandar (January 13th) children painted their faces black with ash and knocked doors saying:
"Karakoncolos, Karakoncolos has came to your door, has saluted your house.If you don't take his salute, he will shit on your door."
If they open the door children hit them with a piece of wood and run if they don't they would shat on the door as they said.
Epic
Imagine if nobody opens your door.
What'd you do?
I find it interesting that cultures on opposite ends of the earth would have similar festivals. For example, Southeast Asia observes Ghost Festival/Month or a variation of it (like Japan's Bon Festival).
Celtic Holiday Samhain the night where we celebrate our ancestors, the season, and each other for the winter to come. A time for friendship, grateful for the harvest and celebrating.

Jokes on them, I like tootsie rolls...
Just not enough to buy them myself.
thank you for mentioning day of the dead! so many people overlook the blaring similarity!
And in Japan, we have Bon/盆 in the middle of August, when our ancestors come home to stay for 3 days, and are sent back with bonfires.
@@atsukorichards1675 very cool!
didn't know about that!
In my case, the spiderwebs on my bushes are all natural. One of the things I do on a weekly basis is check what spiders are populating those bushes. I do this because I once found a black widow spider on a bush in my front lawn and I noped the hell out of there, grabbed my tools, cut the branch it was sitting on, sprayed it with insecticide, and set it on fire. Since I live down the street from a police station, a police car saw me do all of that and asked me why I was setting a branch on fire. I pointed to the burning carcass of the black widow with its still noticeable red hourglass mark and said "black widow spider." The officer said "oh", turned around and quickly walked back to his car.
This is pretty sweet dude, keep it up!!! Cant wait for your next noobs guide!!
We still celebrate Beltane in Edinburgh, it's a good time. Alot of fire, dancing and nudity.
Now that's my kind of holiday!
Welp, guess I know where I’m going on vacation next.
@@papulapop9425 Come for the architecture, stay for the pagans.
Sounds fun
@@codybonds pls do one on north india and punjab history
Thanks! Very interesting, I love the extra history lessons
When I think of my Irish relatives carving Jack o lanterns out of turnips ,they go up more in my estimation each time, I can't even cut them for cooking !!
Happy Halloween Cody!! Even there is no trick or treating 😕, but we can have some fun Halloween as von Carstein
Mate, if you haven’t yet gotten around to investigating “Heaven’s Vault” I really do think you would enjoy it. Just look it up and see what’s it’s about at least.
Very Informative 👍
Great video! I like the theme of eating and drinking!
I'm not a religious man but I had to pause and take a screenshot of the Jesus face pumpkin! Whoever did that is talented! Amazing. Anyway back to the video.....
this man does his research! well done
Thank you, enjoyed
It's good being a Celt. ;)

R u still alive?
great video mr.bonds
How informative! Any excuse to commit meager impersonation and mundane theft I'm in!
I wonder if you won't do other holidays too! Would love to get the schtick on all the feasts, festivals, and holy-days around the globe!
NOT THE COMPLETE ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN. Please check out Cosmic origins of Halloween by Randall Carlson. There are meteorological reasons everyone on earth from North and south of the equator has a Halloween tradition. Still a nice collection of the developed Halloween tradition but not the origins.
We all love halloween but we need more noobs guides for total warhammer2 much love!
the histoy of spoopy time
Irish immigrants brought their traditions to England Canada and the United States
I love these kind of mini documentaries that you make.
Didn't hear any dick jokes, though.
What do you think your grandparents did after they bobbed for apples?
I always loved Halloween... so whatever free candy!!! Philadelphia USA
You should do a true history of Christmas
It's on the list!
I Love Halloween!!!🎃❄🎃❄🎃
You are really missing out on so many points here.... I example the turnip / with the face was from Ireland is being jack o lantern who was to walk the earth forever
Spooky Halloween 🎃
Candy is good for you
Huh, no mention of "Hallow's Eve?"
I touch on it about 3/4 of the way in.
well that was a strange noob guide to real life history
Samhain is pronounced "sau-an".
I've also see it as Sah ween and Saw win. I suspect it's one of those words with varied regional pronunciation.
@@codybonds In Irish is is actually pronounced Sow-in. Sow as in a female pig not sowing seeds
The bones of animals and sacrificed criminals…
The day of the dead isn't the same thing smh
Make Halloween pagan again.
Happy happy Halloween!

💀 no step on SNEK! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
Pagan Halloween does sound like a fun time. Except for the werewolves. I left out that bit. But there was a reason they carried torches and dressed up!
@@codybonds
I am also the same person that wants to bring Krampus to the main stream.
@Roo Smith The soul cakes. It's mentioned in the video.
One Irish king try to make Halloween pagan way before Christianity became a thing.
Introducing human sacrifice didn't sit well and said the king was murdered for it.
You pronounced Samhain incorrectly fyi
I would like to firmly apologize. I thought I liked this video but when I went back to share it with friends I saw I misclicked and disliked it. This mistake has been rectified, but my shame is eternal.
As you showed it your friends and watched it a second time, I'll allow it... This time.
Pagan world.
It's surprising how many of those old Celtic traditions held over into Christianity.
@@codybonds they weren’t “held over into Christianity” they were stolen, while our traditions died with the people who tried to take them back.
It's the Devil's Christmas
I pray the Blood Of Jesus and saving knowledge over everyone who reads this.
Lame
Evil
It is Scots-irish the people of Scotland are not a type of whiskey!!!
May I ask for your bibliography for this episode?
I apologize, but I published this over a year ago and no longer have the bookmarks. Generally I pull from several Wikipedia entries and cross reference them with associated sites. The starting place for this video was en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain
@NotaHero🌻of911 No, I was genuinely curious.
