On Nov.1 the annual celebration of the traditional Western "Holiday Spirit" – Halloween, and 31 October is the eve of Halloween, it is common knowledge that the day before Halloween. But the atmosphere of that day is far from "horrible" as its name implies.
The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing of the potato famine in their country. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping units and closing doors crazy.

Each time the arrival Halloween, children are eager to don their colorful costumes makeup, clothing and various ridiculous masks on a Jack "Light" walk from house to house and were ask for gifts Christmas.
Trick or Treat
The custom of trick or treating is believed to have originated not with the Celts of Ireland, but in the ninth century European custom called Souling. On November 2 All Saints Day, the early Christians would walk from village to village and asking "sweet spirit", made of square pieces of bread with raisins.
Candy soul more beggars would receive, committed more to say prayers on behalf of the family of deceased donors. At that time it was thought that the dead remained in limbo for some time after death, and prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's journey to heaven.
This is an important day in Halloween the dinner table, he is not just for sweets and cakes enough to know these devilkins villains ", but also on the cover to your table carefully developed for this special day. Never let You go watch your guests!
Jack Lantern
The "lantern Jack" custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the story is told, a man named Jack, who was known as a drunk and swindler, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross on the tree trunk, trapping the devil in the tree. Jack did a pact with the devil, who, if they never feel tempted again, he promises that fall from the tree.
According to the tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of their evil ways, but also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. However, the Devil gave him an ember to light his way through the icy darkness. The ember was placed in a hollowed out turnip to keep it lighter.
The "Jack's Lantern" looks very cute and charming, and you could buy very simple: Take a pumpkin carved with a smile, and burned the eyes and mouth to outside, then put a candle and lit, so people can be able to see that smile on his face innocent and distant, is a favorite toy of children on Halloween.
Turnips Irish used as "Jack's lanterns" originally. But when immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more numerous than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.
Custom Tradition Review
In most of the "haunted" at night, all sorts of demons, pirates, witches and extraterrestrial visitors to try one after another. In the days before Christ, The Celtics have a habit of holding a ceremony in late summer to thank for the blessings given by God and the Sun, it was time to implement and spells to light fires drive out demons and spirits that roam.
Later, the custom of the Romans as nuts and apples to help celebrate the harvest has been merged with the custom of the 31 October and the East, people from Celtics used to make clothing designs of animals, focusing on terrible masks to hunt ghosts and demons in the night before Halloween. Although Christianity has taken the place of Celtic and later Roman religious activities, these first Halloween customs have been maintained over time.
The Halloween we celebrate today includes all these influences, Pomona apple day off dried, and the harvest, the Festival of black cats, magic of Samhain, evil spirits and death and ghosts, skeletons and skulls from All Saints and All Saints.
Thus, although some cults may have adopted their favorite Halloween holiday, the day which in turn does not grow on poor practices. Born rituals of Celts celebrating a new year and medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin events for children. After all, the same day is no worse than a want to.
Today, children focus on a variety of Halloween costumes and masks jokes to attend Halloween parties, and people are familiar with the scene of several paper witches, black cats, skeletons, and ghosts of the figures on the walls of the parties, also outside the doors and windows are pumpkin lantern with teeth exposed, mouth open or faces formidable.
