HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN
Halloween is a holiday with a long history celebrated on October, 31, the evening before All Saints’ (or All Hallows’) Day. It is a day to remember all the dead, but gradually its celebration has changed greatly from a serious spiritual day to a humorous and ridiculous death confrontation. Halloween is regarded a pagan festival in Europe, but still many people desire to communicate with spirits or foresee their future on this day. Nowadays it is celebrated in different countries, but nothing can be compared with the annual parade in New York devoted to Halloween. It is a major nighttime parade, where thousands of participants wear colorful costumes, millions of spectators follow it either being present there or on TV.

SYMBOLS OF HALLOWEEN
Halloween is represented with numerous symbols, which are usually frightening and terrific. The main artifacts are jack-o’-lanterns. Pumpkin became a symbol of Halloween replacing a turnip, as it is easier to carve different figures in it. Usually this plant gets two wide-open eyes, a triangle nose and a scary smile. A candle inside frightens evil spirits and adds some impressive effect.
The other symbols of Halloween are ghosts, witches, skulls and skeletons, cobwebs, scarecrows and different horror trifles. All of them remind of the death and evil forces around us and the fact that people’s lives are not eternal. The colors associated with Halloween are orange and black.

WAYS OF HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION
The ways of celebrations are also very diverse. This holiday is very popular both with adults and kids. The grown-ups can spend it with family or friends, but now it is very customary to hang out at the costumed party with co-workers. Home celebrations might involve watching of horror films or the creation of a haunted house. It is also important to buy some sweets, as most children spend this evening going from house to house and playing "trick-or-treat" game. They wear outstanding and extraordinary costumes, put on masks or terrific make-up and demand sweets, gifts or snacks. If the host or hostess refuses, they threaten to spoil something or do some nasty tricks.
