Halloween

The eve of All Saints' Day (November 1st). In Britain, Ireland and other parts of the country, in addition to church-related events, there are folk events such as bonfires, fortune-telling and apple-eating contests, which are derived from ancient Celtic customs. In the United States, the day is famous for decorations such as Jack-o'-lanterns, which are hollowed-out pumpkins with eyes, noses and mouths and candles inside, masks and lots of fun.
