The word bonfire originated from an old Druid tradition of tossing something into a fire to ensure the sun would return after a long, hard winter. What was put into the fire?

Before Halloween, Druid priests would toss cattle bones into fires to ensure the sun would return after the winter. Over the years, the words "bone fire" morphed into "bonfire."
