The tradition of giving soul cakes was celebrated in Britain or Ireland during the Middle Ages, although similar practices for the souls of the dead were found as far south as Italy.

The cakes are usually filled with allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, or other sweet spices, raisins, or currants, and before baking are topped with the mark of a cross to signify that these were alms. They were traditionally set out with glasses of wine, an offering for the dead as in early Christian tradition, and either on All Hallows' Eve (Halloween), All Saints' Day, or All Souls' Day, children would go "souling" or ritually begging for cakes door to door.


A soul cake, also known as a soulmass-cake, is a small round cake which is traditionally made for Halloween, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day to commemorate the dead in the Christian tradition.
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 to receive sweets from them and have offered "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 pray for the Holy Souls. Any leftover soul cakes are shared among the distributing family or given to the poor.
