Halloween

Halloween is a celebratory feast celebrated every year on October 31, the eve of All Saints. It is performed in most Western countries, but is more representative in the United States. The history of this commemorative day has more than 2500 years. Emerged among people who believed in the last days of summer (October 31), the spirits come out of the cemeteries to possess the bodies of the living. To scare these ghosts, they put in houses, scary objects, for example, skulls, bones decorated pumpkins decorated among others.

Being a pagan feast was ordered in Europe during the Middle Ages, when it became known as Halloween. Those who celebrated this date were persecuted and condemned to the stake by the Inquisition.

Today's children also attend this party. With the help of parents, wear scary costumes and go door to door in the neighborhood, where they drop the phrase "Trick or Treat." Happy ending the night of Oct. 31, with bags full of goodies, candies, chocolates and sweets.
