A soul cake, also known as a soulmass-cake, is a small round cake (though they more resemble in appearance and texture a shortbread biscuit, with sweet spices) which is traditionally made for Halloween, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to commemorate the dead in many Christian traditions. The cakes, often simply referred to as souls, are given out to soulers (mainly consisting of children and the poor) who go from door to door during the days of Allhallowtide singing and saying prayers "for the souls of the givers and their friends", especially the souls of deceased relatives, thought to be in Purgatory. The practice in England dates to the medieval period, and was continued there until the 1930s. In Sheffield and Cheshire, the custom has continued into modern times. In Lancashire and in

  • Ein Soul cake ist ein kleiner runder Kuchen, der traditionell zu Allerheiligen oder Allerseelen zubereitet wird, um die Toten zu ehren. Die oft einfach als Seelen bezeichneten Kuchen werden an Bittsteller, meist Kinder und Bedürftige, abgegeben, die an Halloween, dem Tag vor Allerheiligen, singend von Tür zu Tür gehen und für die armen Seelen beten. Jeder verzehrte Kuchen steht für eine Seele, die aus dem Fegefeuer erlöst wird. Dieser Brauch wird als Ursprung des modernen „Trick or treat“ („Süßes oder Saures“) vermutet. In Lancashire und im Nordosten Großbritanniens sind die Kuchen auch unter dem Namen Harcakes bekannt. (de)

The practice in England dates to the medieval period, and was continued there until the 1930s. In Sheffield and Cheshire, the custom has continued into modern times. In Lancashire and in the North-east of England soul cakes were known as Harcakes, a kind of thin parkin. The practice of giving and eating soul cakes continues in some countries today, such as Portugal (where it is known as Pão-por-Deus and occurs on All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day), as well as the Philippines (where it is known as Pangangaluwa and occurs on All Hallows' Eve). In other countries, souling is seen as the origin of the practice of trick-or-treating. In the United States, some churches, during Allhallowtide, have invited people to come receive sweets from them and have offered to "pray for the souls of their friends, relatives or even pets" as they do so. Among Catholics and Lutherans, some parishioners have their soul cakes blessed by a priest before being distributed; in exchange, the children promise to pray for the souls of the deceased relatives of the giver during the month of November, which is a month dedicated especially to praying for the Holy Souls. Any leftover soul cakes are shared among the distributing family or given to the poor. (en)
  • Una torta dell'anima, nota anche come soul cake, è una piccola torta rotonda (sebbene assomigli di più nell'aspetto a un biscotto di pasta frolla) con spezie dolci, che viene tradizionalmente preparata per Halloween, Ognissanti e giorno dei morti per commemorare i defunti in molte diverse tradizioni cristiane riguardo alla notte delle streghe. La pratica di dare e mangiare dolci dell'anima continua oggi in alcuni paesi, come il Portogallo (dove è nota come Pão-por-Deus e ricorre il giorno di Ognissanti e il giorno dei defunti), così come le Filippine (dove è nota come Pangangaluwa e si verifica la vigilia di Ognissanti). In altri paesi, il souling è visto come l'origine della pratica nota come "dolcetto o scherzetto". (it)
