What is Halloween Day?

On halloween our children basically dress up in costumes and go out that evening knocking on doors saying, "trick or treat" and the people that live there give them candy. However, I don't know much about where the holiday, etc. came from so I looked up some information for you. Check out this site. http://www.religioustolerance.org/hallowee.htm

Halloween originated under a different name as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain with Irish, Scots, Welsh and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late twentieth century. Halloween is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit, and other treats. Apart from this trick-or-treating, there are many other traditional Halloween activities. It is celabrated mostly in north American countries.

It's about ghost.

I have never attended any Halloween celebration though items designed for this festival will be out for sale in October in some supermarkets and departmental stores. Items include pumpkin masks, toy pumpkins, chocolates pumpkins, witches' hats, etc and I think they are for the expatriates. Our locals hardly celebrate this occassion. Recently there was a case about an expatriate who decorated his rented bungalow in preparation for Halloween and it looked so horrific with ghostly figures hanging at the front porch and so on. Police was called in by his neighbours and everything turned out well. So much about differences in culture.
