On October 31, Americans celebrate Halloween.
Halloween means “holy” (hallow) “evening” (een). This is the evening before the Christian holy day of All Saints Day. On All Saints Day, Christians remember the Saints but Halloween is even older than Christianity.
Before Christianity, people in Europe believed that on October 31 ghosts of dead people came back. To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils and were very noisy. They also made big fires to keep the ghosts away. Later, people did not believe in ghosts, but they kept the day of Halloween for fun.
Immigrants came from Europe to America and brought with them the custom of Halloween. Halloween has some strange symbols. One symbol is the jack-o’-lantern in the window. The jack-o’-lantern is to scare the ghosts.
People cut the pumpkin, throw away all of the inside, and cut a face in it.
Then, they put a candle inside of it.
Jack-o’-lantern usually look scary, too !
Today, in the United States, Halloween is very popular with the children.
They wear masks and special costumes. They want to look like skeletons and ghosts.
Then, they go from house to house and say “ Trick or treat! “. People give them candies, cookies or fruit. When people give nothing, the children sometimes play tricks on them.

On October 31st, we celebrate Halloween, thought to be the one night of the year when ghosts, witches, and fairies are especially active. So what do people do on Halloween Day in England?
are hollowed out pumpkins with a face cut in one side and a candle put inside. In the old days people lit fires to scare away bad spirits. They believed light had power over darkness.
Today Jack-o-lanterns are
supposed to frighten away ghosts and witches.
One Halloween party game is called
‘bobbing for apples’. Apples are put in a big bowl full of water. The players, sometimes blindfolded must take an apple out of the water without using their hands.
On Halloween, when it was believed that bad spirits came back to the earthly world, people thought they would meet ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by ghosts people would wear masks when they left homes after dark so that the ghosts would
mistake them for fellow spirits. That’s why Halloween
costumes are traditionally monsters such as
vampires, ghosts, witches and devils.
Children in costumes go from house to house in their
neighbourhood, often in small groups, in order to ask for treats such as sweets, lollipops, chocolates or money.
When someone answers the door, the children say: ’Trick or treat?’ The
"trick" is a threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.
