Halloween was originally a pagan festival celebrated by Celtic peoples and born of the pagan feast "Samhain".
Samhain is a festival that celebrates the dark season Celtic year. Gallic town also celebrates this festival;called "Samonios".Samonios has been replaced in the Gallic country Christian celebrations.
Samhain was held three days before and three days after November 1 and the source from there wasn't carved pumpkin or trick or tratamiento.La people had a lantern made of a celebration nabo.La was strictly observed by the entire society and gave the opportunity to each barbarian to eat, drink and have fun.
Over the centuries, continental Europe were converted to Christianity and had abandoned Samonios in favour of all saints and Samhain became All Hallow Eve.
However, the Halloween we celebrate today has nothing in common with Samhain.
Halloween and all Saints Day are still are interrelated, because Halloween means "The night before the feast of all saints" and "from the All day also" is our day of the saints of all continental.
All Hallow Eve; that evolved during the Christianization of European populations, was imported to America by European settlers and the flow of the Halloween party was founded by Irish emigrants.
Belgium, two villages celebrate yet Samonios (Samhain), born vacation all saints, group, and these peoples San Gregorio.Uno is Gouy-Lez-Pieton.A friend of mine lives in Gouy and when I speak about Halloween, says: "we not replaced Saint Nicholas celebration Christmas therefore cannot replace our Saints all day and our day of the dead by Halloween!" However, decided to organize a Halloween party with me next year.
Here are some countries that celebrate Halloween:
If some continental European countries adopted Halloween, this has not been without fact dificultad.De, we believe that this celebration is too "American Marketing" style.European citizens give more value to their culture and traditions as business events.
Belgian people celebrate Halloween more than ten years, but Gouy-Lez-Pieton refuses to adopt, preferring to celebrate the feast of his own style of Samhain.Even if the Belgian people organized a dinner the day before Christmas, still offer gifts to December 6 children and no 25 of diciembre.Por therefore I doubt that my country replaces all Saints on Halloween day.
Moreover, Belgian people not open its doors to unknown persons, including children, and we are not welcome to ask for candy.Incidentally, many children are fighting in the streets to steal candy from others.
French think that this celebration is too commercial and while this Halloween finally approved country in the 1990s, is now less appreciated.There are very few children call on doors and asking for candy.
English people celebrated the day of Guy Fawkes on 5 November and adopted many customs of Samhain.These festivals are characterized by torchlight where children use masks beet and squash parades.
Scottish people practiced rites paganos.Los children dress in costumes and cut scary faces in large sweet potatoes and put a candle inside of ellos.Reciben sweets when provide a pleasant entertainment to their neighbours.
Trick or treatment originated in Ireland as well as usual, Irish children disguise will enjoy Halloween celebrations, are cut into large children batatas.Los lanterns shall be received by neighbors with sweets and Irish houses will be decorated with lights of Halloween.
Spanish people enjoy every type of holiday and the sons partes.Sus will then enjoy receiving neighbors candies and adults will have the opportunity of having a Halloween party in each Spanish club.Pueblo also organizes many parades of Halloween.
Portugal not celebrate Halloween; Portuguese celebrated the day of the dead through the Organization of festivities in the cemetery.
Italy regions organise events of Halloween and it seems that Italian children enjoy this celebration.
Other European cities and clubs of organized trade events for Halloween (mainly for tourists), newspapers published articles dedicated to Halloween, but I am sure that people really practical Halloween.Hay very few festivals in Europe, especially Central Europe and oriental.Se Halloween information adhere to its own day of all saints and Day Of The Dead.
Australia and New Zealand begin to enjoy Halloween.
United States, Canada and Quebec: Halloween is very much appreciated and I believe that only some disasters around the world should prevent that these people to celebrate Halloween.
A few years, there is a growing interest of the Chinese population for Western events: Chinese people enjoy Halloween festivities.
