HALLOWEEN
Halloween started as an ancient Celtic festival and was later celebrated in Christian times as the night before All Saints Day. In fact, the name "Hallowe'en" comes from Old English: "hallow" (holy or scared) and "een" (eve or evening).
In England and America a lot of children have Halloween parties on the 31st of October. They make big lanterns with pumpkis and candles to frighten their friends and neighbours.
The chidren wear witches costumes and pay "Trick or Treat" with their neighbours too. Some children get very frightened because they think witches and ghosts are going to come out at night.
There are many words relacionated with Halloween, like:
BAT
BLACK CAT
GHOST
WITCH
The carved pumpkin has become the symbol of Halloween. It's called "Jack-o-lantern", from an Irish legend about a man called Jack. He was a lazy farmer, who tricked the devil and refused to free him unless he agreed to never let Jack go into hell. So, Jack started to wander the Earth looking for a resting place, carrying a carved turnip with a Candle inside.
