WHAT IS Halloween ? 

       The Halloween, or Halloween, is a celebration of the Western Christian communities in many countries, in which the memory of the dead, such as martyrs and saints, is honored and commemorated, and the origin of the word "Halloween" comes from the English word "hallow" Which first appeared in Scotland in 1556.

 The feast was celebrated in Celtic civilization in Scotland, where they celebrated the fruit and agricultural fruit at the end of the summer and the harvest, and the beginning of the winter, when they called it the dark season. Their celebration was called "Sahuin" Consider that this darkness arises as a result of the distance between the current world and the other world, so there will be a great opportunity to transfer the lives of fairies to this world to help people survive in the winter, they would fire and provide food and drink to facilitate the transmission of these lives, People wear exotic costumes and cover their faces with ashes to represent the dead. 

The spread of the Halloween in the world 

     This tradition began to spread in the European countries in the twelfth century AD, where the bells of the churches are knocked out and dressed in black, and the distribution of cakes to celebrate the lives of Christians, and then recited prayers to all the lives of all the dead either in the churches or at tomba and graves

This tradition was extended to the United States of America at the end of the eighteenth century.

 Halloween Celebrations signs 

     People celebrate the Halloween  by dressing up scary costumes, which, according to old traditions and beliefs, aim to scare away bad spirits and devils . Little children walk home, chanting slogans or sweets. The trick involves children doing scary scenes for homeowners if they do not. They are given candies, people dig and pump and light the pumpkin, go to the uninhabited and frightening places to visit, and there are some who just go to the churches to perform religious services and pray for their dead and light candles on their graves, This day, it is forbidden to eat meat, but only to eat Pies stuffed with potatoes and apples, but it is worth noting because this holiday is considered a secular, not a religious celebration. It has been used to produce many horror films and short stories.
