Halloween~History~

I examined history of Halloween. I'm going to speak about Halloween history.

Do you know Halloween? Halloween is a festival of USA. It is a traditional festival. It carries out on 31st October. Halloween's theme is ominous and awful things, including death, monster, and sorcery. Traditional Halloween's colors are black and orange. People make Jack-o’-lantern by cutting pumpkins. They put it at the front door to drive demons out of the home. Halloween mainly spreads to Ireland, England, USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, and a part of Australia. In Germany and Japan, it is accepted as a part of American pop culture.
Halloween means hallowed or holy evening. It was started by the Celts. They believed that spirits trick toward human in the evening.

Ireland people immigrated to USA and their custom spread and people understood pumpkin can obtain and carve easily. Jack-o-lantern became in common.
