Halloween

by kanne Email

Halloween is a traditional festival that has been passed on from one generation to another. It's name 'Hallows Eve' comes to mean the night before All Saints Day (1st November). It used to be an ancient religious feast then slowley changed itself through the years.

This feast is associated with costumes of ghosts, skeletons, witches and anything that looks scarey, as well as all sorts of traditional recipe's and games. In some cultures 'Mischief Night' would be to scare off any spirits lurking around the neighbourhood, usually the day before Halloween.

The most common tradition is that of 'Jack-o-Lantern' , or the traditional candle holder made out of a pumpkin or turnip.

There is so much to do on Halloween, but most of all is to enjoy and keep safe :)
