You would think that people would wear a jackal mask on Halloween,but they didn't celebrate Halloween in Ancient Egypt. In fact, this mask was only worn by priests. They wore the mask to honor one of their gods, Anubis. They honored him by wearing the mask during the opening of the mouth ceremony and during the mummification of the dead. My question is, wouldn't it be kind of hard to cut someone open and mummify them with a mask on? Well it could be!
