What is HalloweenHalloween is a night of fantasy and mystery and remembers where it represents everything about the world of the dead and the phenomenon of death itself, that attracts men. The origin of the crowded Halloween party is to be found in old Ireland. The Witching Night (Night of Witches) everyone is a great scener in memory of departed loved ones and spirit. Costumes (disguises, costumes), trick or treating (trick or treat), traditional sweets, pumpkins (pumpkins) are symbols of Anglo archiconocidos Halloween.

Origin of nameThe word "Halloween" is used as such for the first time in the sixteenth century, and comes from a Scottish variation of the phrase "All Hallows 'Even" (also used "All Hallows' Eve") which means "eve of all Santos'.

Trick-or-treatingTrick-or-treating is a customary practice for children on Halloween in many countries. In North America, trick-or-treating has been a customary Halloween tradition since the late 1920s. Homeowners wishing to participate in it sometimes decorate their private entrances with artificial spider webs, plastic skeletons and jack-o-lanterns. Some rather reluctant homeowners would simply leave the candy in bowls on the porch, others might be more participative and would even ask an effort from the children in order to provide them with candy. In more recent years, however, the practice has spread to almost any house within a neighbourhood being visited by children, including senior residences and condominiums.
