We celebrate Halloween on 31st October. It is thought to be a night when ghosts, witches and fairies are very active.
Jack-o-lanterns
They are hollowed out pumpkins with a face cut in one side and a candle put inside. Jack-o-lanterns are supposed to frighten away bad spirits, ghosts and witches.
Dressing up
On
Halloween, when it was believed that bad spirits came back to the earthly
world, people thought they would meet ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid
being recognized by ghosts people would wear masks when they
left homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake
them for fellow spirits.
That’s why Halloween costumes
are traditionally monsters
such as vampires,
ghosts, witches and devils.
Trick or Treat
Children
in costumes go from
house to house in
their neighbourhood, often in small groups, in order to ask for treats such as
sweets, lollipops, chocolates or money. When someone answers the door, the
children say: ’Trick or treat?’ The "trick" is a threat to perform
mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. Here in our class....
