HALLOWEEN!✝

Halloween is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on october 31, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treaking, attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighthing bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and whatching horror films.


Today Halloween's costumes are thought to have been influenced by folk costums and beliefs from the Celtic-speaking countries.
Development of artifacts and symbols associated with Halloween formed over time. Jack-o'-lanterns are traditionally carried by guisers in order to frighten evil spirits.

The modern imagery of Halloween comes from many sources, including national customs, works of Gothic and horror literature and classic horror films.

Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question:'Trick or treat?"
The word "trick" refers to "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.
In Scotland and Ireland, guising (children disguised in costume going from door to door for food or coins) is a traditional Halloween costum, and is recorded in Scotland at Halloween in 1895 where masquerades in disguise carrying lanterns made out of scooped out turnips, visit homes to be rewarded with cakes, fruit and money.

A popular variant of trick-or-treating, known as trunk-or-treating, occurs when "children are offered treats from the trunks of cars parked in a church parking lot", or sometimes, a school parking lot.
In a trunk-or-treat event, the trunk of each automobile is decorated with a certain theme, such as those of children's literature, movies, scripture, and job roles.

                                                                                                                                                                   
Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons and witches.

Haunted attractions are entertainment venues designed to thrill and scare patrons. Most attractions are seasonal Halloween businesses.

It is said that on the night of All Hallow's Eve the gap between the living and dead worlds are closer, and that dead souls come back to earth. The souls would then look for a living body to possess for the next year. People, not wanting to be possessed would leave food and drinks outside their doors to please the souls. Over time, beggars started taking and then begging for food and then children started to. This is only believed in some religions.
