Halloween in the United States is November 1st. Note: In Chinese, Halloween is often mistranslated as All Saints' Day, which is wrong.

Halloween is also called All Saints' Day and Western Ghost Festival (similar to the Chinese Ghost Festival). It is a traditional Western festival on November 1 every year. Halloween in English is All Saints Day, also known as "All Saints' Day". It is one of the Catholic and Orthodox festivals and a traditional festival in Western countries. The festival originates from religious sacrifices.

However, Halloween’s Eve, October 31, is the most lively moment of this festival. To celebrate the coming of Halloween, children usually dress up in costumes and masks and go door-to-door to collect candy; young people dress up as witches, clowns, zombies and other ghosts to participate in costume parties or parades in the streets.

Halloween customs in various countries

1. Halloween in the United States

Halloween was introduced to the United States in 1840. Due to the famine in Ireland at that time, a large number of Irish people immigrated to the United States, and they brought the custom of celebrating Halloween to the United States. All stores in the United States sell ghost-shaped food, candies, costumes, masks, etc. on this day; because jack-o'-lanterns are a symbol of the holiday.

So every household has to buy pumpkins to make jack-o’-lanterns and hold jack-o’-lantern competitions. Children will participate in candy begging activities at night. They carry pumpkin lanterns and go from house to house begging for candy. If the owner does not give candy, the children will cause trouble to the owner in various ways, or throw garbage at the owner's door, or step on it. Rotten pumpkins on their doorstep.

2. British Halloween

Britain is the origin of Halloween. In the fifth century BC, the Celts living in Ireland at that time designated October 31 as the end of summer, symbolizing the end of the year. For fear of becoming the target of ghosts, the Celts extinguished the fires at home that night, put on hideous and terrifying masks, and paraded through the streets together dressed as ghosts to drive away those wandering ghosts.

Gradually, these traditional customs have evolved into celebrations for young people today. Everyone enjoys pretending to be ghosts and horses on this night and has a happy festival. Halloween is here, and every place in the UK has its own special events.

For example, in mid-to-late October every year, the streets and alleys of London are filled with a supernatural atmosphere. During Halloween, many torture scenes were restored in the Tower of London, and you can feel the ghosts in the Bloody Tower. Seone, London's largest nightclub, has an all-night Halloween party on October 31st.
