The origins of halloween

Halloween (contraction of All Hallows 'Evening),
also known as Halloween or All Souls' Night, is a
Celtic festival which takes place primarily in
the United States, northern Mexico, some
provinces in Canada, Ireland and the United
Kingdom on the night of October 31. It originated
in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the
Christian holiday of All Saints' Day. In large
part, is a secular celebration but some feel that
has a religious background. Irish immigrants
passed versions of the tradition to North America
during the Great Irish Famine of 1840. The day is
often associated with the orange and black and is
strongly associated with symbols like the
Jack-o'-lantern. Typical activities include the
famous Halloween trick or treating and costume
parties, besides bonfires, visiting haunted
houses, jokes, reading scary stories and viewing
horror films.

Symbols used in Halloween
The most representative symbol of Halloween is
the previously empty pumpkin with a candle
inside. But this tradition has its origins in
Ireland, where lanterns usually performed with
different types of tubers. The Irish settlers
arriving as America made their flashlights with
pumpkins and that was when I first became
associated carving pumpkins this Halloween
eve. In the last century the influence of
American cinema has become the holiday of
Halloween on Halloween night, a dark and
mysterious. The most common symbols of Halloween
are inspired by classic horror films, which
contain all known figures like Dracula,
Frankenstein, The Mummy and the Werewolf. More
modern horror antagonists has a pronounced role
in this festival, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers,
Leatherface, Jason Voorhees.

Traditioal songs and food in Halloween
Old Witch, Old Witch Chicken my chicken my
creamy crow, I went to the well to wash my
toe, When I got there the water was low, What
time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it
Old Witch? Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a
ditch, And combs her hair with a hickory
switch. She lives on nails and snails and
flies And if you go near she'll wobble her
eyes, Oh, she'll wobble her eyes, Oh, she'll
wobble her eyes. Chicken my chicken my creamy
cran, I went to the well to wash my hand, When I
got there the water was sand, What time is it,
Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old
Witch? Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a
ditch, And combs her hair with a hickory
switch. She's fat as a feather but tight in the
middle And when she talks she sounds like a
fiddle. Oh, she sound like a fiddle! Oh, she
sound like a fiddle!

Spanish All Saints' Day VS Halloween
The Day of All Saints is a Catholic tradition
established in honor of All Saints, known and
unknown, according to Pope Urban IV, to
compensate for any lack in the feasts of the
saints during the year by the faithful. In
Catholic countries, is celebrated on November 1,
while in the Orthodox Church celebrated the first
Sunday after Pentecost, but also celebrate the
Anglican and Lutheran churches. It venerates the
saints who do not have a feast in the liturgical
calendar itself. For a holiday tradition is not
working.
Today, children dress for the occasion and walk
the streets trick or treating from door to door.
After knocking at the door children uttered the
phrase "trick or treat ',' trick or treating" or
"naughty or sweet." If adults give them candy,
money or other reward, is interpreted to have
accepted the deal. If instead they refuse, the
boys spend a little joke, the most common throw
eggs or shaving foam against the door.

The Jack-O'-Lantern Legend

• An old Irish folk tale tells of Stingy Jack, a
  lazy yet shrewd farmer who uses a cross to trap
  the Devil. One story says that Jack tricked the
  Devil into climbing an apple tree, and once he
  was up there Jack quickly placed crosses around
  the trunk or carved a cross into the bark, so
  that the Devil couldn't get down. Another tale
  says that Jack put a key in the Devil's pocket
  while he was suspended upside-down.

Trick - or - treating and other rhymes
I am a ghost, I am scary and white, And you see
me at night.
I'm a skeleton, Day or night My bones are white.
Im a pumpkin Next to the door On the Halloween
night Look at my face, See my light.
I'm a castle, I've got windows and doors, And
ghots under the floors.
I'm a witch, I've got a big hat and a little
black cat
I am a broom, I can sweep and fly With a witch
in the sky.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

• The story is set circa 1800 in the Dutch
  settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded
  glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of
  Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky, and extremely
  superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who
  competes with Abraham Brom Bones Van Brunt, the
  town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina
  Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a
  wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party he
  attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn
  night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman,
  who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper
  who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball
  during some nameless battle of the American
  Revolutionary War, and who rides forth to the
  scene of battle in nightly quest of his head.
  Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town,
  leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones, who was to
  look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of
  Ichabod was related.
