Halloween!

«Halloween masks hide faces... but not always human.»

HALLOWEEN

Halloween came to the United States in the 19th century with Irish and Scottish immigrants. The ancient traditions of Samhain merged with local festivals, giving rise to a secular celebration with pumpkins, costumes and “trick or treat”.

Halloween was born in Ireland and in the Celtic regions of northern Europe, such as Scotland and Wales.

Some Germans prefer to celebrate Reformation Day or St. Martin's Day, traditional occasions of the same period.

Families carve pumpkins and decorate houses, but the festival is not very popular everywhere.

Halloween came a few decades ago. Children say “Süßes oder Saures” (sweet or sour) when knocking on doors.

Halloween has been known since the ’90s, but it's not a real tradition. The children ask “Des bonbons ou un sort ?” and they dress up. Toussaint is much more important when families bring flowers to cemeteries.

Halloween joins the feasts of All Saints and the Dead. Parades and costume parties are organized in many cities, but “trick or treat” is rare. Typical desserts such as Huesos de Santo, Buñuelos de viento and Panellets in Catalonia are eaten. Samaín, an ancient holiday similar to Halloween, is celebrated in Galicia.

Halloween is increasingly popular, especially among young people and in urban centers. There are parties in the clubs, events in the villages and children doing “Trick or treat?”. All Saints' Day (1 November) and the Day of the Dead (2 November) remain very important. Some towns, such as Triora (Liguria), organize real festivals dedicated to witches.

Bonfires are lit, pumpkins (once turnips) are cut and people disguise themselves to ward off spirits. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, children go trick or treat, organize parties at home and in pubs. The famous Púca Festival is also held in Ireland with traditional music, shows and costumes.

Halloween only arrived in the ’90s but today it is much loved by children. In Sweden it is said “Bus eller godis”, in Norway and Denmark “Knask eller knep”. Costume parties are held, pumpkins are cut and houses are decorated. In the same period, however, the Feast of All Saints is also celebrated by lighting candles in cemeteries.

Halloween is known but not widely practiced: there are parties and customs, but above all among young people. People give more importance to the Day of the Dead, visiting cemeteries and lighting candles. In Poland, for example, on November 1st and 2nd cemeteries are full of lights and flowers.

VISION

Halloween is not an ancient tradition. It is celebrated only in some cities with themed parties in the clubs. Children don't go house to house. The Greeks already have a similar festival, Apókries, the February carnival, with masks and jokes.
