    On October 31, Americans celebrate Halloween.

    Halloween means “holy” (hallow) “evening” (een). This is the evening before the
    Christian holy day of All Saints Day. On All Saints Day, Christians remember the
    Saints but Halloween is even older than Christianity.

    Before Christianity, people in Europe believed that on October 31


    ghosts of dead people came back. To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils
    and were very noisy. They also made big fires to keep the ghosts away. Later,
    people did not believe in ghosts, but they kept the day of Halloween for fun.

    Immigrants came from Europe to America and brought with them the
    custom of Halloween. Halloween has some strange symbols. One symbol is the
    jack-o’-lantern in the window. The jack-o’-lantern is to scare the ghosts.
    People cut the pumpkin, throw away all of the inside, and cut a face in it.
    Then they put a candle inside of it.
    Jack-o’-lantern usually look scary, too !

    Today, in the United States, Halloween is very popular with the children.
    They wear masks and special costumes. They want to
    look like skeletons and ghosts.

    Then they go from house to house and say “ Trick or treat! “. People give them candies,
    cookies or fruit. When people give nothing, the children sometimes play tricks on them.
