Trick or Treating (Spoon-hitting) in Persian Culture

Qaashoq-Zani (Spoon-hitting)

Very much like Halloween and in full disguise(the history of it, is way older than Halloween), usually a veil (chador) covering the entire body, longing youths go to seven different houses and make a noise by hitting a bowl with a spoon to signal the household residing in the house. Being presented, by the household, with some treat betokens a positive omen, and vice versa.
