Every 31st of October, kids of all parts of England go from home to home saying "Trick or Treat?" and waiting for some candy. We enjoy this festivity and it's becoming an international party
Yes, but... Whatis it's origin?
This party The word Halloween was first used in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All Hallows' Even ('evening'), that is, the night before
All Hallows' Day. Although the phrase All Hallows' is found in Old English. The origin is sat on the pagan festivity of the end of summer, also linked to the Saint night. People thought that every 31st of October an 24 hour portal is opened for the dead, to became alive. They made Jack o' Lanterns, that are pumkpins with cutted mouths and eyes and a candle inside. They use this spooky lanterns for scaring the ghosts and other spirits. Today, we also use this pumpkins and disguise for enjoy an GREAT NIGHT.
