Halloween is one of the favorite festivals for children and adults in North America. On the night of1October 3 1, every family decorates their homes with carved pumpkins, which are called pumpkin lanterns. Children dress up as ghosts, monsters, witches, even princesses and famous heroes in fairy tales. They knocked on doors and shouted, "Trick or treat!" Accept candy and snacks.
Halloween is actually a very old festival, and great changes have taken place since it was first celebrated. A long time ago, Europeans celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of the new year on1October 36. They believe that on this day, the souls of those who died that year can walk on the earth again. People will put on costumes and March in the village, making a lot of noise. They want to scare away evil ghosts.
Later, Christians in England and Ireland took this festival as their own. They changed it to honor their saints. 1 1 month 1 day becomes Halloween, or the night before Halloween,1October 3 1, which is Halloween. The name was shortened to Halloween.
Although it is a Christian festival, people still keep many ancient traditions. People in different parts of Europe celebrate it in different ways. In some places, they wear scary and expensive clothes. In other countries, they collect special cakes called "soul cakes" from house to house. In Ireland, people play tricks on each other. Later, when people from all over Europe moved to the United States, these traditions merged.
One of the most popular traditions is to make pumpkin lanterns with pumpkins. The first jack-o-lantern was actually cut from turnips. This tradition comes from the story of Jack, an evil man who once cheated the devil. After his death, Jack can't go to heaven because of his evil ways, but he can't go to hell because of his practical jokes on the devil. Because he will have to walk in the dark forever, the devil gave him a lantern carved with radish to light his way.
Every Halloween, Irish people make "Jack-o-lanterns" with turnips. When they came to America, they found pumpkins easier to carve. Today, people like to carve scary faces on their pumpkin lanterns and put them in front of their homes on this very special night. On Halloween, if there is no pumpkin lantern in front of your house, you won't be killed.

I can't post the rest, because the system says "something is not suitable for publication" and I don't know what it means. Because I don't think there is anything inappropriate, "Baidu knows" is really inexplicable ~)
