Halloween, or 'Holy Eve', is celebrated on October, 31. It is the eve of the festival of all saints, but many of the beliefs connected with it came long before the Christian Era: 1) The ancient Druids lit bonfires to drive to be away spirits of the dead; 2) In ancient Rome, the festival of Romona, goddess of bruits and gardens, occurred at about this time of year. Nuts and apples were roasted in front of huge bonfires.

Even after November, 1 became a Christian feast, peasants clung to the old pagan customs. Halloween became a night of mysteiy and fun-making. Folk came to believe that they could foretell the future on that night by jumping over lighted candles. In the British Isles great bonfires blazed. Laughing bands of'guises', young people disguised in grotesque masks and carrying lanterns carved from turnips, gathered in each village.

Halloween celebration today keeps many of these customs unchanged. Young and old still gather to duck for apples bobbing in a tube of water. Grinning pumpkinsk, jack-o-lanterns, rustling corn-stalks and white - sheeted figures create an air of mystery, and black paper witches and cats are used for party decorations. It's a favourite 'special day' for school celebrations, when young people hold costume parties, play old-fashioned

games, and give pageants based on the ancient customs.

Halloween Games are very old. Many centuries Halloween celebrations provide friends, relatives and good neighbours with a possibility for some fun. On this evening, according to ancient Celtic beliefs, the spirits of all things are liberated and free to roam the world. The 'Holy Eve' is an ideal time for fortune-telling.

In recent years, children dressed in white sheets, knocked on doors at Halloween and asked if you would like a 'trick' or a 'treat'. If you give them something nice, a 'treat'; they go away. However, if you don't, they play a 'trick' on you, such as making a lot of noise or spilling flour on your front doorstep!

Halloween Games

1) The Love-Apple.

Give each guest an apple and a paring knife. Each tries to pare his apple without breaking the peeling and when this is accomplished, he/she throws the peeling over his/her left shoulder. The initial formed is that of the beloved. If the paring breaks, the person will have no beloved.

2)                  Ducking For Apples.

Place a large round washtub, filled with water on a table. Float several apples on the water. In rotation each player tries to secure an apple in his mouth. He may not touch the apple with his hands, but it may be pushed against the side of the tub.

3)                  The Prophetic Pumpkin.

Mark a large smooth pumpkin into squares. Make a symbol in each square, such as: anchor, sailor, wings, aviator, %, banker, $, money, pen, writer, etc. Each of these signifies a boy's future. If a girl is playing, it signifies her husband's future. The pumpkin is suspended by a string in an open space, and twirled rapidly. While it is moving, the player jabs it with a hatpin. The square in which the, pin sticks reveals the player's fortune.

4)                  The Witch's Cauldron.

The witch sits in a dim room before a cauldron, under which there is a real or an artificial fire. She has a lighted candle. There should be as many fortunes as there are guests. The fortunes are written on slips of paper, folded with the writing inside. These are placed in the cauldron. One at a time the guests approach, put their hands in the cauldron and draw out a fortune. When a guest opens the paper, and there is nothing there, the witch says she can read the apparently blank paper. She holds it above the candle, with the invisible writing nearer the flame. Slowly the words, which have been written in milk, become readable as the flame scorches the milk. The paper mustn't be held too close to the flame, or it will burn.

5)                  The Best Halloween Man.

Give a feather to one of the guests. He/she must tickle her/his friend's face, neck with this feather. The person who will not laugh at this moment, who will be calm, is the best Halloween man.
