Halloween - канун Дня Всех Святых Halloween - от староанглийского "hallow" - святой. Средневековая Англия. Осень. Урожай собран, можно наконец-то отдохнуть. Душа крестьянина (в те времена Англия была сельской) просит праздника. На улице - так холодно, сыро и серо, что не хочется выходить из дому. Так, по нашему мнению, родился веселый, яркий Halloween. Не случайно, именно оранжевый цвет - доминирующий цвет этого праздника. Историки же утверждают, что в те времена в Англии бытовало поверье, что перед Днем всех святых (1 ноября) ведьмы, злые духи и привидения вытворяют все что угодно. Люди боялись их и старались оставаться дома в канун дня всех святых, а если нет, тогда нужно нарядиться в страшные костюмы, чтобы сбить их с толку. А чтобы не было страшно, нужно веселиться и шутить. Следы древних празднований остались и в современных традициях Хэллоуина. Только сегодня привидения это дети под простынями. Оранжевый и черный все также главные цвета Хэллоуина, как и много веков назад, когда оранжевые языки пламени освещали тьму ночи. 31 октября в Британии и Америке день веселья и шумных вечеринок. Многие дети и взрослые надевают маски, переодеваются в ведьм, скелетов, привидения, участвуют в многочисленных шутках, конкурсах, викторинах, играх. Короче говоря, веселятся от души. Обязательным символом Хэллоина считается Jack-O-Lantern - тыква, вырезанная в виде сташного лица (и чем страшнее, тем лучше). Внутрь тыквы ставится свеча и вся эта красота ставится на подоконники и у входной двери. Во многих школах проходят парады костюмов. Ну и конечно, TRICK OR TREATing. Вечером дети, собравшись в небольшие группы и переодевшись в самые разнообразные костюмы, ходят от дома к дому, стучатся в каждую дверь в надежде получить кучу сладостей и вкусностей. А дальше вечеринки, танцы, песни, игры, фейерверки, конфеты и счастье. Halloween is celebrated on October the 31st every year. It originated from a pagan holiday and the Christian holiday of All Saints’ Day. The name Halloween is a shortened version of All Hallows’ Eve. Today, it is more of a fun day for children and has largely lost its religious roots. Halloween is probably most famous in the U.S.A. Irish immigrants took it to America in the mid-1600s and it slowly spread across the country. Halloween is not celebrated in many countries around the world although many people know about it. Some Christians are not so happy that people celebrate Halloween. They believe the holiday is un-Christian because of its origin as a pagan "festival of the dead." Halloween has many easily identifiable symbols. The colours orange and black are widely used. In particular, orange pumpkins and fires and black witches, cats and costumes are common features of this day. One of the biggest Halloween activities is trick-or- treating. This is when children knock on doors and ask for a small gift. If they don’t get anything, they’ll play a trick on the person who opens the door. Food also plays a big part of Halloween. Toffee apples are very popular and so is anything made from pumpkin. Halloween is also a popular topic for Hollywood. Many horror movies have been made about it. Because of this, Halloween is now known in many countries that never actually celebrate it. http://like2teach.tmweb.ru/fun/games_012.html Are you large / small? Are you dead / alive?
