I love Halloween. Who doesn't?! It's a fun filled festival when everybody dresses up as their favorite superhero, fiction character, ghosts, vampires, skeletons, witches, fairies, zombies and so on. Everybody looks scary, spooky and funny. Kids carry up baskets and go knock on every house's door they can too get candies, chocolates and others treats. There are parties and interesting activities like apple bobbing, trick-or-treats, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks on friends, telling scary tales, watching a horror movie and much more!
Halloween's also called 'All Hallows' Eve'. And it's celebrated worldwide on October 31st 2013. It's said that the souls of dead visit the world on this eve so everybody disguises to save themselves from evil spirits and so. This festival has Celtic roots too. In the medieval Gaelic calendar, it is the first of the four main quarter days (Samhain) and most of the important events of those times happened in these days. It marked the start of the 'darker half' of the year when preparations for the cold winter ahead were done and cattle were slaughtered. Mystic rituals were performed which also included human sacrifice.
