Hi guys!
One
of the celebrations that we don’t have in Brazil
Schools celebrate it, so you can get ready to go
to a nice party wearing a scary costume. Here is a little
about Halloween and a
recipe of a nice drink for you to feel like you are in The USA celebrating this
day ;)
Halloween is perhaps the
spookiest, and most fun, day of the year. It gives children the chance to live
out their fantasy as their favorite character, while allowing adults to be like
kids again if only for one night!
Celebrated on October 31,
Halloween is also known as All Hallow's Eve. The holiday, which is thought of
by some to be a Pagan holiday, originated from Samhain, an ancient Celtic
festival.
The festival was
originally celebrated in the winter. At that time, days were short, and food
supplies were even shorter. The threat of cold and hunger loomed, and many
people didn't want to leave their homes because they were afraid of the dark.
They were also afraid of the spirits of the dead who were thought to return for
just one night to haunt those who were still alive.
In order to leave their
homes and blend in with the spirits, people would dress up in costumes so the
spirits wouldn't recognize them. Food would also be left on doorsteps to
further placate the spirits.
Today the tradition of
dressing up still lives on. And, instead of leaving food for spirits, children
go Trick or Treating in hopes of filling their bags with lots of goodies.
