When is Halloween?

Halloween is on November 1st every year.

Halloween is a traditional Western festival, and October 31st, the eve of Halloween, is the most lively moment of this festival. In Chinese, Halloween is often mistakenly translated as All Saints' Day.

To celebrate the coming of Halloween, children will dress up as various cute ghosts and knock on the door from house to house, asking for candy, otherwise they will be trick-or-treating.

In addition to the above custom, there is also a legend. Legend has it that on this night, various ghosts and ghosts will dress up as children and mix with the crowd to celebrate the coming of Halloween. Westerners dress up as various ghosts in order to make the ghosts more harmonious.

Halloween special food

There are several things that must be prepared for Halloween. They are pumpkin pie, apples and candies. Some places also prepare fine beef and mutton. Different foods have their own characteristics. Different meanings exist.

Pumpkin: Pumpkin pie has always been the most common food in early winter in the southern United States, and it is just more appropriate on Halloween. In addition to pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds are also a common holiday snack.

Apple: In addition to Halloween, November 1st is also an important festival in ancient Rome, called Pomona.

Pomona is the "god of fruit trees" and is in charge of the life and death, harvest and failure of all fruit trees. After Rome occupied the Celts, they also integrated Pomona and New Year's Day, forming the custom of eating apples on Halloween.

Candy: "Trick or treat". The most classic Halloween candies are orange, brown and black outer packaging, and most of them are shaped like ghosts. However, this tradition has nothing to do with candy.
