Halloween – History Facts
Halloween is one of the oldest festivals in Great Britain. Halloween is celebrated on October 31st.
The full name of the festival is “All Hallows Eve”.
Everything started a very long time ago, in the 5th century, in the place where today is Great Britain and Northern
France. At that time the Celts lived there and they celebrated New Year with a festival called “Samhain” on
November 1st. It was a holiday of the end of the “Sun Season” and the start of the “Dark and Cold Season”. People
made lamps of pumpkins and candles and said: “These lamps help the sun to live in winter”.
In the year 835 the Roman Catholic Church made November 1st a church holiday of all saints who do not have a
special day in the year. This holiday was called “All Saints Day” or “All Hallows Day”.
People started to celebrate another holiday on October 31st: “All Hallows Eve” (the night before “All Hallows Day”).
Now we call this festival “Halloween”.
People strongly believed that Halloween is the night when communication between the worlds of the living and the
dead can be. Dead people visit our world as witches, goblins, ghosts, black cats and skeletons.
Costumes – on Halloween people wore masks and costumes when they left homes after dark so that the ghosts would
mistake them for other evil spirits. The most popular costumes nowadays are ghosts,
witches and skeletons. The colours of Halloween are orange ( the colour of harvest) and black ( the colour of death
and darkness).
Jackolanterns – pumpkins with lighted candles inside which were used to frighten away evil spirits. According to
an Irish legend a man called Jack can’t enter neither heaven nor hell. So instead, he has to walk in the darkness with
his lantern until Judgment Day. Many years ago people used apples and potatoes in making lanterns. Now all over the
world pumpkins are used.
TrickorTreat – many years ago to keep ghosts and witches away from their houses on Halloween, people placed
plates of food outside their homes to appease all evil spirits. And now British children put on their costumes and from
door to door in the evening saying: “Trick or Treat”. And people give them chocolate and sweets.
Halloween verses
1
The month is amber,
Gold and brown.
Blue ghosts of smoke
Float through the town.
Great V’s of geese
Honk overhead,
And maples turn
A fire red.
Frost bites the lawn,
The stars are slits
In a black cat’s eye
Before she spits.
At last, small witches,
Goblins, hags,
And pirates armed
With paper bags.
Go haunt a night Of pumpkin grins.

Сценка Five little pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"I see witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
Then whoosh went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight! Halloween – Tasks – 123 Witches brew
