Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration, but some Christians and Pagans have expressed strong feelings about its religious overtones. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of 1846.The day is often associated with the colors orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols such as the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies.
Halloween fue iniciada por los celtas, que celebraban su Año Nuevo en 1 de noviembre. Un festival se celebró la noche anterior, 31 de octubre, en honor de su señor céltico de la muerte, Samhaim. Esto marcó el inicio de la temporada de frío, la oscuridad, y la decadencia, y más tarde se asoció con la muerte. Los celtas creían su "señor de la muerte" permitiría a las almas muertas a regresar a sus hogares terrenales en el día de hoy.
Halloween is celebrated every year by millions of Americans. Businesses stock their shelves with costumes, candy, Halloween decorations, etc. People allow their children to dress as ghosts, witches, pirates, and a myriad of other costumes too numerous to list.
