the Halloween celebrations last a month, with a costume parade on October 1st kicks off the "haunted happenings", haunted events of all kinds and decidedly bizarre: markets, gastronomic events, card readings
In addition to private parties, there are several truly spectacular Halloween-themed public events in the United States.
The best known is perhaps the Halloween parade in New York, which attracts more than 50,000 people each year. It is held in Greenwich Village and consists of horror-themed dances and floats. Also worth mentioning are two locations characterized by very macabre legends: Salem and Sleepy Hollow. Given the mysteries that have made these towns famous throughout the world, it is useless to say that Halloween here is held in very high regard by local administrations.
Masked children "terrorize" the neighborhood (although often, when the door is opened, the opposite happens!) by knocking on houses and saying the phrase "trick or treat?" in fact, the most representative custom of Halloween.
Well, why do we celebrate Halloween? Why on October 31s? And how did Halloween arrive in the USA? We must know, first of all, that the origins of Halloween are truly ancient and date back to the Celtic tribes. The Celts celebrated the beginning of the new year between October 31st and November 1st, when according to them the veil between our world and that of the dead was thinnest. This celebration, the most sacred in the Druidic calendar, was used to retain the souls of the deceased in the afterlife and was called the night of Samhain. Like many other pagan celebrations, with the arrival of Christianity the festival changed shape but maintained consistent traces of its ancient meaning, becoming All Saints' Day. The word "Halloween" itself derives from the English "All Hallows'Even", i.e. "All Hallows' Eve".
