28 Oct 2022

On the night of October 31 - November 1, people celebrate mystical Halloween! The traditions of its celebration are different in each country. It's most celebrated in the USA, Great Britain, and European countries. On this night, people stay awake and hold costume parades and parties in the style of "horror". We have selected the most interesting traditions for celebrating Halloween in different parts of the world! Let's start!

USA

As we have already mentioned, that Halloween is a popular and long-awaited holiday in the USA. Before the celebration, Americans decorate their houses with bright pumpkin lanterns, figurines of skeletons, ghosts, vampires, witches, black cats, and artificial spider webs. Such decorations look very atmospheric! Jack's lamp, a pumpkin lantern in the form of a human head, is the main symbol of this "scary" holiday. By the way, many years ago people made this decoration from a turnip.

In addition, it's hard to imagine American Halloween without themed masquerade costumes. Most of all, Americans like to dress up as monsters and scary characters from famous movies. Some Americans invite friends to watch their favorite horror movies in their homes.

A tradition without which American Halloween cannot exist is called "Trick-or-treating". Children and teenagers in scary costumes walk around the houses, shouting "trick or treat", and expect to receive candy from house owners.

Great Britain

Halloween is also one of the loudest and funniest nights in Great Britain when the whole country stays awake. This night the English traditionally decorate towns and villages with pumpkins and candles. They like to dress up in witch costumes with skeletons in their arms and walk the streets there. The British also love vampire and ghost outfits.

Ireland

In the evening, the people of Ireland gather in large groups to enjoy a festive dinner together. There is also a custom of baking pies in which small gifts are placed, for example, coins and rings. Irish people like to dress up as zombies on Halloween. To make their costumes especially creepy, the Irish sprinkle them with artificial blood.

France

The French love Halloween too! On this day, they prepare thematic dishes and delicacies. French Disneyland transforms on Halloween. Ominous and frightening characters from cartoons, fairy tales, trolls, and sorcerers roam its territory. The children are so delighted!

Japan

The Japanese celebration of Halloween stands out from the rest. On the eve of Halloween in the capital of Japan, the city of Tokyo, a parade of werewolf cats takes place. Parade participants dress up as cats and paint their faces like cat faces. The fact is that Japanese Halloween is dedicated to the hero of Japanese folklore, Bakeneko, a ghost cat who received supernatural powers. More than 2 thousand people take part in the parade!

China

Chinese hold the Festival of Hungry Spirits on Halloween, where they offer various gifts and treats to lost souls. The Chinese believe that on Halloween, souls who are unhappy in life return to our world, so they try to appease them.
