The tradition of Trick-or-Treat around the World


During this time around the world Halloween is celebrated. One most common tradition followed in the United States and Canada is trick-or-treat which has been there since 1900s. The traditions of children going door to door in search for treats exist in many parts of the world, with one European custom being widely recognized as the precursor of the North American tradition.

 

If we look back at the Middle Ages, people in the British Isles used to dress up for these holidays and go from one door to the other and perform different scenes.

This tradition still exists in Ireland and Scotland under the name guising and features dressed-up children rather than theater displays.
