HALLOWEEN
Halloween, is also known as Hallowe'en, a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening", or All Hallows' Eve, or All Hallows' Even ('evening').
It is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31st, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints)
According to many scholars, it was originally influenced by western European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots, particularly the Celtic Samhain.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
In Ireland customs include lighting bonfires, and having firework displays.
Halloween is also popular in North and South America, Australia New Zealand Most of continental Europe Japan and other parts of East Asia.
All Hallows Eve precedes All Saints' Day on November 1st, also known as All Hallows, Hallowmas or Hallowtide. All Saint's day in turn precedes All Souls' Day on November 2nd. The two days together are known as The Day of The Dead, a major observance in Latin America.
Halloween is proceeded by Mischeif Night, an informal holiday on which children and teens engage in pranks and minor vandalism. Some refer to the night as Pumpkin Night or Mischeif Night.
Mischeif Night is known as Devils Night in Detroit, Michigan but had escalated to major vandalism and arson.
The escalation prompted the creation of Angel's Night in which up to 40,000 Detroiters volunteer to patrol keep the city safe on these nights.
Angels Night has been very successful in reducing crime of all kinds.
