Halloween! By Yashira and Josep

Where does Halloween come from? Halloween began as an ancient Celtic festival in Great Britain and Ireland, and has survived most strongly among Irish, Scottish and Welsh communities. Immigrants from these communities carried the tradition to North America where it has gained in popularity

When is Halloween celebrated? A vigil for the festival was held on All Hallows Evening on October 31st. In the vernacular of the times, All Hallows Evening became Halloween and later the Halloween we know today

what is the origin of the word Halloween? The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before ALL HALLOWS DAY.

What is a Jack-o-lantern A jack-o'-lantern is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus or jack-o'-lantern.

At night, a light is placed inside to illuminate the effect
