It's celebrated on October 31st. When the
Celts lived in Ireland, Britain and France over
2,000 years ago, they had a pagan agricultural
festival on this day. They believed that the dead
came back, so they used to light large bonfires

The word "Halloween" is a shortened
form of "All Hallows' Eve", meaning
the evening before "All Hallows' Day"
or "All Saints' Day", which is
November 1st.

In the past, poor people went around asking
for food in exchange of a prayer for the dead.
Nowadays, this tradition was changed. In
Ireland and the United States, children dress
up and go door-to-door collecting candy. This
is called "trick or treat", meaning that if they
don't receive candy they will make a trick or a
spell.

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.

THE NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN
The house looks empty,
There's no one around,
There isn't a sight,
There isn't a sound.
In the darkness each ear,
I feel the same shame,
having eaten the treats...
Before the kids came!
Jack'olantern...Jack’ olantern
You are such a funny sight
As you sit by the window
looking out at the night
You were once an orange pumpkin
growing on a slender vine
Now you are a jackolantern
see the candle light shine.
