Title: Welcome to our


1
Welcome to our
  • On the 31st of October

2
  • Neither the word Halloween or the date 31 October
    are mentioned in any Anglo-Saxon text indicating
    that it was just an ordinary day a thousand years
    ago.
  • From the Medieval period (1066 - 1485) through to
    the 19th century, there is no evidence that 31
    October was anything else other than the eve of
    All Saints Day.
  • From the 19th Century to the present day, 31st
    October has increasingly acquired a reputation as
    a night on which ghost, witches, and fairies, are
    especially active.
  • Halloween comes from All Hallow Even, the eve
    (night before) All Hallows day. Therefore,
    Halloween is the eve of All Saints Day.

  • Many Halloween stories and games are hundreds of
    years old. Halloween customs date back to a time
    when people believed in devils and witches and
    ghosts.
  • They thought that these evil spirits could do all
    kinds of damage to property. Some people tried to
    ward off witches by painting magic signs on their
    barns. Others tried to scare them away by nailing
    a piece of iron such as a horseshoe over the
    door.
  • The children draw pictures or write on the
    windows with soap, decorate the rooms with paper
    moons, witches, bats, ghosts and black cats. The
    guests try to frighten one another by telling
    ghosts stories around an open fire.

really talkThe night when witches ride on
broomsAnd skeletons can walk.
