Hallowee
n
is an annual
holiday
celebrated on
October 31. It
has roots in the
Celtic festival
of Samhain and
the Christian
holy day of All
Saints, but is
today largely a
secular
celebration.
Hallowee
n
The word
Halloween is
first attested in
the 16th
century and
represents a
Scottish
variant of the
fuller All-
Hallows-Eve,
that is, the
night before All
Hallows Day.
Symbols
Development of
artifacts and
symbols
associated with
Halloween formed
over time. The
most popular is
pumpkin.
Symbols
The turnip has
traditionally been
used in Ireland and
Scotland at
Halloween, but
immigrants to North
America used the
native pumpkin,
which is both much
softer and much
larger – making it
easier to carve than
a turnip.
Symbols
The American
tradition of carving
pumpkins is
recorded in 1837
and was originally
associated with
harvest time in
general, not
becoming
specifically
associated with
Halloween until the
mid-to-late 19th
century.
The
modern
imagery
of Halloween
comes from many
sources, including
national customs,
works of Gothic
and horror
literature and
classic horror
films.
Symbols
Elements of the
autumn season,
such as pumpkins,
corn husks and
scarecrows, are
also prevalent.
Homes are often
decorated with
these types of
symbols around
Halloween.
Hallowee
n
imagery
includes
themes of
death, evil, the
occult, and
mythical
monsters.
Black and
orange are
Halloween's
traditional
colors.
Trick-or-
treating
is a customary
celebration for
children on
Halloween.
Children go in
costume from
house to house,
asking for treats
such as candy
(sweets) or
sometimes money,
with the question,
"Trick or treat?"
Hallowee
n
is not celebrated
in all countries
and regions of the
world, and among
those that do the
traditions and
importance of the
celebration vary
significantly.
