Halloween
The story of Halloween started in ancient times when the Celts lived in Britain and Ireland. On the night of October 31, they celebrated the change from summer to winter. They also believed that evil spirits roamed the earth. To frighten these spirits away, the Celts dressed up as witches and ghosts and lit huge bonfires.
In the 1800s, Halloween tradition spread from Britain to the United States. Nowadays on October 31 British and north American children wear masks and dress a ghosts, witches, and other characters. They often have a party at school. In the evening they wear their costumes and go to their neighbors houses when the neighbors open the door, children shout: trick or treat. They play a trick on their neighbors: they may soap windows, misplace garden tools and so on.
In large cities, adults also wear masks and costumes at Halloween parties at night.
The traditional Halloween colors are orange and black. The most typical symbol is the jack-o- lantern: a hallowed pumpkin with a carved face and candle inside.
