2. Origin of name
• The word “Halloween” is a Scottish variant of
the more complete “All Hallows-Peer“
("night"), that is, the eve of All Saints.

from the Celtic festival of “Samhain” and the holiday of All Saints
Day.
•Celebrating Halloween – people (teenagers and adults) wear
fantasy costumes and go to parties or making bonfires (fazem
fogueiras) and children too, but in a different way.
• On this day do shows, tell stories of ghosts (histórias de
fantasmas) and other frightening tales and watching horror
movies.

• Trick-or-treat is a customary celebration for children on
Halloween. Children wear fantasy costumes and go from house to
house asking for sweets, such as sweets or money, saying always
this question: "Trick or treat?“. Children do a trick, singing a
song or telling a ghost story to gain sweets or other things from
de adults.
