October
31st is a very important date for young people in Britain and
America. It’s Hallowe’en! This word means ‘All Hallows’ Eve’,
the night before ‘All Hallows’.
Hallowe’en is a pagan
festival. It came from the Celts, when they invaded the British Isles
and Northern France. In the ancient pagan calendar, October 31st was
the last day of the year. At night, Celts built bonfires and dressed
up in the scary Celtic costumes. They lit lanterns they placed
outside their houses to frighten away devil and death.
When
the Irish emigrated to the U.S.A. in the 18th and 19th centuries,
they brought this tradition with them. Hallowe’en became one of the
most important festivals in the U.S.A. Lanterns came to be pumpkins
with candles inside and called ‘Jack o’Lanterns’.
Today
Halloween is a time for fun. People wear masks, dress up as ghosts.
Witches, monsters, etc. and organize parties. They also play games.
Children go from house to house saying: ‘trick or treat?’ waiting
for people to give them sweets and money.
