Halloween
Halloween is celebrated on October 31st . It is the night in which demons,sorcerers and witches appear. Children dress up in fearsome costumes andgo trick-or-treating from house to house for candy. The genesisof Halloween goes back to the Celtic new years festival, which wascelebrated on November 1st. The custom told, that during the night beforethe doors of the netherworld opened and the ghosts of the deceased enteredthe human world. In the 9th century the Christian Church changed this gentilecelebration to the All Saints Day. The old custom however remainedand became the Halloween festival. This is, why on this day children dressup as ghosts and walk through the streets to frighten the adults.
The symbol for Halloween is the jack-o-lantern, which is a pumpkin carvedinto a scary looking face with a lit candle inside. These can be found adorningmany porches and walkways. The colors for Halloween are black and orange.
