Editor's Notes
- Other festivals which take place in different countries around the world – not Halloween everywhere. E.G. Dia de los muertos in Mexico – an ancient festival remembering relatives who have died. Bonfire Night takes place in the U.K. On the 5th of November – bonfires and firework displays happen in many towns all over the country.
- Halloween is a mixture of two different traditional festivals (Celtic-Irish/Galician!) Samhain, and Christian festival called All Saint’s Day
- It is common for children (but also adults!) to dress up in scary (or silly) costumes on Halloween. People used to think they would see ghosts if they left their homes on Halloween, so they wore masks and costumes as a disguise.
- This is a game in the UK which is really traditional at parties on Halloween. You have to hold your hands behind your back, and try to bite one of the apples in a big bowl of water.
- People often carve faces in pumpkins to celebrate Halloween. In the past, people would light candles and put them in pumpkin lanterns outside their homes to scare away evil spirits and ghosts. Nowadays – it is a fun way to decorate our homes!
- Normally people will just draw a scary face on their pumpkin – but you can get more creative! These are all real pumpkin carvings!
- Often on Halloween people will get together and tell a scary story or read a scary book. Sometimes around a campfire!
- Long ago in Ireland, during the Samhain festival, poor children would go around houses to beg for cakes and money from richer families. When the Irish emigrated to America, they turned this tradition into trick-or-treating. Nowadays, children will dress up andd go around their neighbours houses, asking for sweets. This tradition is most popular in the USA – but is becoming more popular in the UK and Ireland.
