What do you know about Halloween ?

Halloween is an originally religious celebration that has become a popular holiday in many countries, especially in the USA and Canada. It is celebrated on the 31st of October, the eve of All Hallows’ Day. The word ‘Halloween’ is a contraction of ‘All Hallows’ Evening’. Nowadays most people do not see Halloween as a religious celebration. It is just a fun holiday that includes many traditional activities such as trick-or-treating and costume parties. It is popular among both children and grown-ups.

A Halloween costume party is an event where everyone should be dressed up as ghosts, witches, skeletons etc, although in many cases people choose less ghost-related costumes and dress up as pirates, robots, popular shows and videogames characters.

The activity that little children are fond of is trick-or-treating. Kids wear costumes, knock on their neighbors’ doors and say ‘Trick or treat!” The phrase suggests ‘You either give me a treat or we play a trick on you’. According to the rules of the game, grown-ups are supposed to give a treat to the children, usually a bunch of candies. Children love this activity because it is fun and they end up collecting a lot of candies from grown-ups.

Another traditional Halloween activity is making jack-o’-lanterns. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollow pumpkin carved in a particular way. It looks like a head with a creepy smile and a candle inside. This is probably the most recognizable symbol of Halloween.
