Praznik je sekularna različica krščanskega praznika vsi sveti.
V davnini je bil ves čas okoli zimskega sončnega obrata čas mrtvih. Njihove duše naj bi se v dolgih nočeh vračale na svet. Člani moških družb so jih našemljeni poosebljali. Krščanstvo je spremenilo pogansko animistično gledanje, tako da je rajne prikazovalo kot »duše v vicah«, ki se morajo očistiti grehov, preden smejo v nebesa. Za to naj bi jim bila potrebna molitev živih. Domači so najemali tudi druge, da so molili za njihove rajne, predvsem so to naročali revežem in otrokom; ti so svoj čas hodili od hiše do hiše in ljudje so jih obdarjali z obrednim pecivom (prešce, vahtiči, krželji, mižnjeki). To se je dogajalo predvsem 2. novembra (krščanski dan vernih duš), pa tudi že dan prej (praznik vseh svetnikov). Obredno pecivo je skoraj gotovo ostanek iz predkrščanstva. (vir: Wikipedia)

Holliday is a secualar version of a Christioan fest of All Saints.
In ancient times it was all the time around the winter solstice time of the dead. Their souls were supposed to be in the long nights returned to the world. Members of the men's societies embodied them by masks. Christianity has changed pagan animism vision, so that the dead were shown as "souls in Purgatory", which must be cleaned of sins before they may enter into Heaven. For this would have been required prayers of the living. The home hired the other, they were praying for their deceased, especially they ordered that to the poor and children. They used to walk from house to house and ather people were giving them ritual cakes (prešce, vahtiči, krželji, mižnjeki). This happened mostly on 2 November (the day of the Christian faithful souls), as well as the day before (the feast of All Saints). Ceremonial cake is almost certainly a relic from pre-Christianity.
