Halloween
Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints' Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially the Solemnity of All Saints and also called All Hallows or Hallowmas[1]), often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November in Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.
In terms of Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day, specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven.
Christian denominations celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints' Day and the Feast of All Souls' Day because of the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the state of grace who have died and are either being purified in purgatory or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and the 'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living. Those who have died and are with God watch over those still living, and the saints are held to intercede with God on behalf of the living. On their part, the living pray to the saints and remember in intercessory prayers to God all who have died, particularly their deceased relatives and friends.

Beliefs in the ancient Celtic new year began on November 1, or Samhain (Samhain). Relatively short day as a symbol of the new year began, the sun also symbolizes the beginning of a new day; so the annual harvest festival on the evening of October 31. Druid followers of the British Isles will be lighted as offerings of crops, and when they dance around the fire, the sun will be the end of the season but Samhain starts. The Celts believed Samhain the god of death in the night of October 31 and the ghost will return to earth together to find a substitute. So they lit the torch, burning death of animals as God's gift. Will use the animal's head or clothing made of fur dress themselves, and made funny noises, the god of death did not recognize himself, avoid disaster. This is the origin of today's Halloween costume party. After a night of ghost back to the underworld, everything broke.
The morning of November 1, Druid fire is still burning charcoal ember heap points to each one, used to ignite a new kitchen fire. The flame is used to make at home to keep warm, and drive away evil spirits. Because at this time of year is considered to be the invisible world of yin and yang connecting door opened, and two of the world may have time to communicate with each other.
Bonfire is an important festival program. The slaughter of villagers on the bone thrown into the fire; rumored "bonfire" comes from "bone fire." After the fire ignited, the villagers extinguished all the lights of the rest. Each family then solemnly with the same fire ignited its own fireplace, close the whole village as a sign of unity. So far in Ireland, there are still hundreds of bonfires at Halloween night in the light.
New Halloween pagans still held in the middle of the night Samhain ritual worship ghosts, and other traditional festival activities.
Halloween always say: Trick or Treat.
