Halloween - All Saints' Day Eve (Samine)

halloweenThe modern custom of carnival costumes and children “scaring” neighbors for candy originated in medieval England. To prevent the spirits from recognizing them, people wore masks when leaving the house. So that they did not get angry, they put baskets of food in front of the house.

This is a mystical holiday when millions of candles are lit in huge orange pumpkins placed in windows, on windows, on lawns near houses, on stairs, in restaurants and cinemas. In the middle of the night, monsters, vampires and witches appear on the streets. By midnight, the Sabbath is in full swing, here and there screams and howls are heard, from which the blood chills in the veins.

Preparations for Halloween begin in a few weeks. Fans of this holiday prepare masquerade costumes for themselves, for children. Also in many small towns there is a competition between farmers - each seeks to grow the largest pumpkin. This new tradition is becoming increasingly popular, with many tourists flocking to watch competitions between farmers.
