Halloween - All Saints' Day Eve (Samine)
Description:
The costumes of the participants are somehow connected with the other world - skeletons and skulls are a symbol of the holiday, and talismans in the form of skeletons mean a cheerful and happy life after death.
According to another version, it is believed that Halloween was brought to America by immigrants from Ireland, where the roots of this holiday go back centuries. It is based on the pagan belief that on this night the souls of the dead return to their homes to collect donations in the form of food.
Adults, by the way, are not advised to hang their ears and open the door in front of strangers. Well, if the children are not given anything, then, most likely, the owners will get what they deserve: their windows will be smeared with soap, smeared with eggs, garbage cans in the yard will be turned over - in short, they will commit revenge on the full program.
Now in the United States there is a whole code of what candy can be given to children - necessarily in wrappers! In addition, when they go home, their parents carefully check what kind of candy they brought. Children are not allowed to enter other people's homes, and in general everything should end at 8 p.m.
Americans look forward to this holiday as much as Christmas. After all, Halloween in the United States is, in fact, an all-American carnival, for which people prepare costumes in advance. And everyone, including the media, is seriously discussing which images will be most relevant in the current Halloween season.
On this day, it is customary to put fear on the people, in which television employees take part. One of the scenarios of the drawing, for example, is as follows: in the morning, reports begin from different parts of the planet with reports of a huge meteorite approaching the earth, which is about to blow our planet to pieces.
On the eve of All Saints Day, even dogs received carnival costumes. They made caftans and helmets.
Vaders and Batmans disguised as darts never managed to arouse fear - only the affection of hundreds of people who came to the festival in Burbank Park.
Recently in the United States there was a tradition to play the symbol of the holiday in bowling. Participants in the annual competition use pumpkins instead of balls. The rules remain the same - the winner is the one who hit the most pins.
