ABOUT HALLOWEEN
Halloween (All Hallows Eve) is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, Halloween festivals, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", and watching scary movies.
Halloween originated from a Pagan festival celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain to indicate the end of the harvest season. The festival was a time used by the Gaelic culture to take stock of their supplies and to kill livestock in preparation for the long winter months. The Gaelic's believed that on October 31 the boundaries between the living and the dead overlapped and that the dead would come back to life to cause problems like sickness or to destroy the harvest.
Nowadays, the mention of Halloween is more associated children (and adults) getting dressed up in costumes. While it has always been a popular holiday in United States, Ireland, Scotland and Canada, it is now celebrated in many other countries around the world.
Traditional Symbols of Halloween
The most traditional symbol of Halloween is the pumpkin which is usually carved out and lit with a candle and placed on the home's doorstep after dark. This carved pumpkin is sometimes called a Jack-o'-lantern. In Ireland and Scotland a turnip was normally carved instead of a pumpkin.

INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S BOOK DAY 2015
MANY CULTURES ONE STORY
“We speak many languages and come from different backgrounds, Yet we share the same stories”
International stories... folklore stories
It’s the same story told to us all
In different voices
In different colors
Yet it remains unchanged...
Beginning...
Plot...
And End...
It is the same story we all know & love
We all heard it
In different versions by different voices
Yet it is always the same
There is a hero... a princess... & a villain
No matter their language Their names
Or their faces
It is always the same Beginning,
Plot
And Ending
Always that hero...that princess and that villain
Unchanged through centuries
They keep us company
They whisper to us in our dreams
They lull us to sleep
Their voices long gone
But they live in our hearts forever
For they bring us together in a land of mystery and imagination
So that all different cultures melt into One Story
