Journal Entry #15

Before 2000 years ago they were people called Celts .they were lived in what is Ireland, UK and north France now. Their New Year was in 1 November, and they believed a day before New Year death and live become one. The name of Halloween came from Christian church. They also believed in Halloween night spirits of death became on earth and they worried if spirits of evil would hart them, so they wore costume of evil or ghost because spirits think they also were gouts so they don’t hurt them. The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans people. These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It’s also fun day for children. They dress up like people thousand years ago, but they don’t worry about ghost and they go knock the each door and say “trick or treat”, and house’s owner give them some candies.
