Question 6: In 2004, what was the most worn costume? [1 point question][/I] Spiderman.
Question 7: What are the Halloween colours, and why were they chosen? [2 point question] Orange and Black.
Orange because of Autumn, and the colors of the leaves and pumpkins.
Black because Halloween was once a festival of the dead. Death is normally associated with darkness, and dark = black
Question 8: October 31st was celebrated by Celtic people as... [3 point question] Festival of the dead!
Question 9: How did the custom of bobbing for apples on Halloween originate? [2 point question] "When the Romans conquered Britain they brought with them the apple tree. The apple was representative of the goddess Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. She was known for her great beauty and fertility. Romans, although conquerors, Romans were accepting of other cultures and soon accepted Celtic beliefs and the Samhain festival. The two were blended together and the apple became part of the harvest celebration that would become Halloween.
Because Pomona was a fertility goddess and because the Celts believed that the pentagram was a fertility symbol and when an apple is sliced in half the seeds form a pentagram it is natural that they believed the apple could be used to determine marriages during this magical time of year. From this belief comes the game bobbing for apples. During the annual celebration young unmarried people try to bite into an apple floating in water or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry.
While the apple may or may not have had any ability to predict the future it brought people together from distant farms and villages who may otherwise have never had contact with others outside their own families. This was very important as most people did not live through their childhoods. Marriage and fertility were extremely important. Without children there would be nobody to carry on your genes. If you didn't have a large supply of children there wouldn't be enough labor to survive. In this respect bobbing for apples wasn't just a game but a matter of life or death."
