Online Reference For Body, Mind & Spirit

Term: Soul-Cakes

DEFINITION:
On October 31, poor British children used to beg for small cakes, or the money to buy them, so their departed dead would have a special treat when they’d come visit on All Souls’ Day (November 1). This is the origin of American trick-or-treating on Halloween.
