HALLOWEEN

On October 31, americans celebrate Halloween, It means "holy" (hallow) evening(een). This is the evening before the Christian holy day of all Saints Day.

On all Saints Day, christians remember the Saints. But Halloween is even older than Christianity. Before Christianity, people in Europa believed that on October 31 ghosts of dead people came back.

To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils and were very noisy. They also made big fires to keep the ghosts away. Later, people did not beleive in ghosts, but They kept the day of Halloween for fun.

Immigrants came from Europa to America and brought with them the custom of Halloween. Some strange symbols has its tradition: One symbol is the jack-o'-lantern in the window, it is to scare the ghosts.

Besides, people cut the pumpkin, throw away all it the inside, and cut a face in it, then they put a candle inside of it. Jack-o'-lanterns usually look scary,too!

Today, in the United State, Halloween is very popular with children. They wear masks and special costumes. They want to look like skeletons and ghosts. They go from house to house and say "trick or treat" and people give them candies,cookies, or fruit.

When people give nothing, the children sometimes play tricks on them.
