Halloween falls on October 31th each year in North America and other parts of the world. What do you know about Halloween? Do you celebrate it in your country? Here is a little history about it.
---
Like many other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 2,000 years ago people called the Celts lived in what is New Year's Day. They believed that the night before the New Year (October 31) was a time when the living and the dead came together.
---
More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints Day (also called All Hallows.) This was a special holiday honor the saints and other people who died for their religion. The night berfore All Hallows was called Hallows Eve. Later the name was changed to Halloween.
---
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit the earth on Halloween. They worried that wvil spirits would cause problems of hurs them. So on that night people wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil creatures. They thought if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them.
---
The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the treaditions changed to little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europa some people would carry lantems made from tumips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people began puttin cadles inside them and using them as anterns. That is why you see Jack 'o lanterns today.
---
These days Halloween is not usuallly considered a religious holiay. It is primarily a fun day for children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say "trick or treat". The owner of each house gives candy of something special to each trik or treater.
