Since the 800’s, November 1st is a holiday known as All Saints’ Day. The evening before is known as All Hallowe’en or Halloween. During the festival, poor people would beg for food and families would give them “soul cakes’ in return for their promise to pray for the family’s dead relatives.
Halloween, however, has a special meaning for children today, who dress in funny or ghostly clothes and knock at neighborhood doors shouting “Trick or Treat!” Princesses, ghosts and witches all hold bags open to catch the candies or cakes that the neighbors drop in.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old. They dress up as historical or political figures and go to costume parties. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!
Certain tricks such as soaping car windows and knocking at the neighbors’ windows are expected. But parties and tricks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for poor children around the world.
Halloween began as a celebration connected with bad spirits. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions take place at night. Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. Carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns is a Halloween custom originating in Ireland. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins instead of turnips(蔓菁) because in the autumn pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips. Today Jack-o’-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are candies waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat!”
