*Halloween*

The Halloween is a classic performed in the yesterday evening of the Catholic All Saints' Day. Because it was the eve of former title "All Hallows" of the All Saints' Day, it came to be called Halloween.

The end for one year of the Celt is October 31. They believed that the soul of the dead visited a family and spirits and witches came out. They put on a mask to protect the body from these and lighted the open-air fire of the charm against evil. This is an opportunity of the Halloween.

In Europe and America, people put up a candle in the inside a pumpkin at night of 31st. It is "Jack oh lantan". The children who disguised itself as a witch and a ghost advocate "a trick or treat" and visit near houses. At the home, they make the cake of the turnip, and the children each bring the cake which they took and open a Halloween party.

Death, an immortal monster, black magic, a monster of the tradition are included in Halloween.
In a character related to Halloween, there are Dracula and Frankenstein in ghost, witch, bat, black cat, goblin, van sea, zombie, malevolent deity.
They display their houses by these symbols at the time of Halloween before and after.
