Halloween is an important holiday in which country?

It is a traditional festival in Western countries.

Halloween, also called All Saints' Day, is a traditional Western festival on November 1st every year; 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. At the same time, it is said that on this night, various ghosts and ghosts will dress up as children and blend in with the crowd to celebrate the coming of Halloween. Human beings dress up as various ghosts in order to make the ghosts and ghosts more harmonious.

Extended information

Halloween was originally a festival to praise autumn, just like May Day is to praise spring. The Druids, the priests of ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which lasted for a whole day from midnight on October 31 to November 1 the next day. They believe that on that night, their great god of death, Saman, summoned all the ghosts of the people who died that year, and these evil ghosts were punished by being reborn as animals.

The ancient Romans also had a festival on November 1st, which was used to pay respect to their goddess Pomona. They roasted nuts and apples in front of a roaring fire. Our Halloween seems to be a mixture of ancient Roman festivals and Druid festivals.

Halloween activities turned out to be very simple, and most of them were held in churches. But throughout Europe, people regard All Hallows' Eve as a chance to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival to praise autumn, but let it become a festival for monsters, witches and ghosts.
