As time passed, people in different countries added their own twist. In some places, kids or poor people would go from house to house asking for food, money, or little treats. In return, they might sing a song or say a prayer for someone’s family.

One old tradition was called "souling"—people would knock on doors and offer to pray for dead relatives in exchange for small cakes. Over time, this turned into something more fun: kids dressing up, knocking on doors, and telling jokes or singing for sweets.

No matter where it happened, it was always about community—people sharing and celebrating together.
