THE HISTORY
  • Everything started a very long time ago, in
    the 5th century, in the place where today is
    Great Britain and Northern France. At that time
    the Celts lived there and they celebrated New
    Year with a festival called Samhain on November
    1st. It was a holiday of the end of the Sun
    Season and the start of the Dark and Cold
    Season. People made lamps of pumpkins and
    candles and said These lamps help the sun to
    live in winter.

THE HISTORY
  • In the year 835 the Roman Catholic Church made
    November 1st a church holiday of all saints who
    do not have a special day in the year. This
    holiday was called All Saints Day or All
    Hallows Day. People started to celebrate
    another holiday on October 31st All Hallows
    Eve (the night before All Hallows Day). Now we
    call this festival Halloween.

5
BELIEFS
  • People strongly believed that Halloween is
    the night when communication between the worlds
    of the living and the dead can be. Dead people
    visit our world as witches, goblins, ghosts,
    black cats and skeletons.

TRADITIONS
  • Jack-o-lanterns pumpkins with lighted
    candles inside which were used to frighten away
    evil spirits. According to an Irish legend a man
    called Jack cant enter neither heaven nor hell.
    So instead, he has to walk in the darkness with
    his lantern until Judgment Day. Many years ago
    people used
  • turnips and potatoes in making
  • lanterns. Now all over the world
  • pumpkins are used.
