What is Halloween:
Halloween, or Halloween, is a popular celebration of worship of the dead celebrated annually on October 31.
The term originates from the English expression "All Hallow's Eve" (All Saints' Eve), as it is celebrated the day before the November 1 holiday.
The culture of celebration of Halloween is very strong in Anglo-Saxon-speaking countries, especially in the United States. Over time, the holiday has gained popularity and today is celebrated, even on a smaller scale, in much of the world.
The Halloween tradition was taken by the Irish to the United States, where the date is considered a holiday.
Origin of Halloween
Most Of the Halloween traditions are believed to have originated in the ancient Celtic festivals called Samhaim, which marked New Year's Eve and the arrival of winter. For the Celts, the beginning of winter represented the rapprochement between the world and the "Other World", where the dead live.
The Celts believed that in early winter the dead returned to visit their homes and that hauntings arose to curse their animals and their crops. All the symbols that today are characteristic of Halloween were forms used by the Celts to ward off these evil spirits.
Samhaim - Halloween
Visual representation of the Celtic harvest festival Samhaim. The ceremony marked the end of summer and the beginning of the dark days of winter. The Celts believed that at that time the spirits visited this world and, to drive them away, lit bonfires, lanterns and torches.
Although of pagan origin, Halloween was named after being Christianized by the Catholic Church, which came to define it as the eve of All Saints' Day.
Halloween symbols
Most of the characteristic Symbols of Halloween originate in the early days of tradition, while others have been added over time. Among the main ones are:
The colors orange and black: Halloween is associated with the colors orange and black as the Samhaim festival was celebrated in early autumn, when the leaves become orange and the days are darker.
Pumpkin Lantern: The Pumpkin Lantern (from Jack o'lantern) originates from a Celtic tale about a boy who has been forbidden to enter heaven and hell and wanders forever with his lantern in search of rest.
The tradition of carving pumpkins began in the United States. Previously, countries of Celtic origin carved turnips and insert candles inside with the aim of warding off spirits.
Examples of d-lanterns
and pumpkin (Jack o'lantern). The Celtictradition of inserting candles into hollow turnips was taken to the United States, where large, soft pumpkins became the best option. The custom, which was once limited to carving faces in pumpkins, currently involves several shapes.

Masks and costumes: the Celts believed that on samhaim day, masks and costumes helped deceive the spirits, who did not recognize humans and continued to roam the world without bothering.
Currently, Halloween is heavily marked by costume parties that usually follow the dark theme of witches, zombies, skeletons, etc. However, in countries where tradition is not as followed (like Brazil), parties usually involve any kind of fantasy.
Skeletons and ghosts: for the Celts, the dead assumed, among other forms, that of skeletons and ghosts.
Bats: Samhaim festivals always involved the use of bonfires, which eventually attracted bats.
Treats and shenanigans: from english trick or treat, originated in Britain but was popularized in the United States in the 1950s. The activity is aimed at children who, in costume, knock door to door asking "treats or shenanigans?". If the person does not give a toast like candy or money, the children do some mischief in your home.
Halloween in Brazil
By American influence, Halloween is also celebrated in Brazil on October 31, but the festival does not have the same meaning and cultural value as the countries of the northern hemisphere.
Much of the Halloween tradition in Brazil is influenced by language courses that promote the date as a way to insert students into the culture of English-speaking countries.
In Brazil, Halloween is mainly marked by costume parties and decorations in bars, cafeterias and other establishments, which adopt the theme of monsters, vampires, witches, etc.
