31 октября Хэллоуин — Halloween (All Hallows Evening или Beggars Night) — ночь перед Днем всех святых (All Saints' Day). Говорят, Хэллоуину не менее двух тысяч лет. Истоки этот противоречивый праздник берет из кельтской культуры. У кельтов существовали четко обозначенные «начала времен года». Их было четыре. Самайн знаменовал собой приход зимы и отмечался 31 октября. В 7 веке Папа Бонифаций IV утвердил 1 ноября Днем всех святых, желая отвлечь английский народ от языческих обычаев. Позже 2 ноября стало Днем всех душ — когда поминали всех умерших. Однако, традиции сохранились в народной памяти, и победить их до конца так и не удалось. В последние годы праздник основательно возвратился в Европу, он также популярен и в некоторых азиатских странах. Дети наряжаются в костюмы чудовищ и ходят по соседским домам, выторговывая сладости. Также устраиваются маскарады, а в окно выставляется полая тыква с вырезанными глазами и ртом и свечкой внутри, чтобы отпугнуть духов. Кстати, тыква — изобретение американцев. А до того в Ирландии и Шотландии страшные маски, в которые потом вставляли свечки, вырезали из реп и картофелин, а в Англии — из свеклы.
