    Halloween is a celebration on the night of October

    31. It is most practiced in the United


    States and Canada. Children wear costumes and go
    to people's homes saying "Trick or treat!" to ask for
    candy (sweets in the UK) and people give it to them.
    The suggestion is: "Give me a treat or I will play a
    trick on you." People mainly dress up as ghosts,
    witches, or other scary things for Halloween.
    Every year, on the night of the end of October,
    Americans and not only celebrate the moment
    when the spirits of the dead visit the world of the
    living. If hundreds of years ago people used to take
    various rituals to protect themselves, they have
    now turned into entertainment.

    Halloween, heroes of the day are witches, ghosts, zombies, vampires,


    mummies, skeletons, werewolves and even demons. In the United
    States, lifestyle sites and traditional media abound during this time in
    articles about how to make masks, costumes and make-ups that will
    terribly scare off neighbors and friends. Also theatrical parties are
    organized in many bars and clubs. Spectacular parades also take place,
    and Halloween's largest Halloween parade takes place in Greenwich
    Village, New York.
    Nowadays, the Halloween evening is devoted to carols and candy gifts
    for Americans. Children and adults disguise themselves, ringing at the
    doors of their neighbors and asking for candy using the phrase "Trick
    or treat". Those who do not open the door or offer sweets to the
    carolites can expect all sorts of unpleasant pranks on their part of
    Halloween evening.

    The popular Halloween feast has a rich tradition behind it, often charmed with charming stories of mysterious
    passionate enthusiasts. For the Celtic populations of the past, it was a festival of shadows, a special occasion to
    come into contact with beings in the other realm. Sacred fires were lit, ritual gifts were given, prophets were
    being made. But what about the famous trick pumpkin symbol that lights up the Halloween night?

    Halloween, the Irish used to scrape nappy, gourds, potatoes and beets to make lanterns to keep them from evil spirits
    and especially the restless Jack. In the 1800s, when more migratory waves stepped on American soil, they quickly
    realized that pumpkins were easier to use and process, adopting them as a symbol to the deer. Jack O'Lantern was born,
    the pumpkin lighted and carved in the same way in all corners of the world.

    Poem
    “Be silent in that solitude,
    Which is not loneliness—for
    then
    The spirits of the dead, who
    stood
    In life before thee, are again
    In death around thee, and
    their will
    Shall overshadow thee; be
    still.”
