2. The typical Halloween tradition dates
back to the people who inhabited the
islands of Gaul and Britain between
the years 600 BC and 800 AC.

3. Originally, Halloween was not related to
witches. It was a festival of the Irish Celtic
calendar, the festival of Samhain, celebrated
between October 30 and November 2, which
marked the end of summer.

4. Origin of the name Halloween
The word Halloween is first attested in
the 16th century and represents a
Scottish form of the expression All-
Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the
night before All Hallows Day.

5. Symbols:
The carving of jack-o'-lanterns comes from
the custom of carving turnips to make
lanterns, as a way of remembering the
souls held in purgatory.

6. Symbols:
Halloween imagery includes themes of
death, evil, the occult, or mythical
monsters and elements of autumn, such
as pumpkins, corn and scarecrows.
Black and orange are the holiday's
traditional colours.

7. Trick-or-treat
Trick-or-treating is a customary practice
for children on Halloween. Children in
costumes go from house to house to ask
for treats (candies).
