2. What is Halloween
Halloween is a night of fantasy and mystery and
remembers where it represents everything about
the world of the dead and the phenomenon of death
itself, that attracts men. The origin of the crowded
Halloween party is to be found in old Ireland. The
Witching Night (Night of Witches) everyone is a
great scener in memory of departed loved ones and
spirit. Costumes (disguises, costumes), trick or
treating (trick or treat), traditional sweets,
pumpkins (pumpkins) are symbols of Anglo
archiconocidos Halloween.
3. Origin of name
The word "Halloween" is used as such for the first
time in the sixteenth century, and comes from a
Scottish variation of the phrase "All Hallows 'Even"
(also used "All Hallows' Eve") which means "eve of all
Santos'.
4. Trick-or-treating
Trick-or-treating is a customary practice for children on
Halloween in many countries. In North America, trick-or-treating
has been a customary Halloween tradition since the late
1920s. Homeowners wishing to participate in it sometimes
decorate their private entrances with artificial spider webs,
plastic skeletons and jack-o-lanterns. Some rather reluctant
homeowners would simply leave the candy in bowls on the porch,
others might be more participative and would even ask an effort
from the children in order to provide them with candy. In more
recent years, however, the practice has spread to almost any
house within a neighbourhood being visited by children, including
senior residences and condominiums.
