Question

WHAT IS HALLOWEEN?
Halloween was first celebrated many centuries ago in Ireland and Scotland by
Celtic priests called Druids. They observed the end of autumn and the
beginning of winter. The Druids thought that Halloween was the night when the
witches came out. As they were afraid of witches they put food and small gifts
near the doors of their houses for the witches.
It is considered that Halloween was brought to America by the immigrants
from Ireland and Scotland. In the 19 th century they celebrated Halloween
according to their old traditions (the integral part of the festival was a lantern
made of a pumpkin with holes in the forms of eyes, and nose and a mouth).
Nowadays people hold parades on Halloween. On the 31 st of October they dress
as witches, demons, ghosts and the like, with large ‘pumpkins’ in their hands, take
part in the festival that lasts till early morning.
