HALLOWEEN

In 1840 this festival comes to America and Canada, where it is deeply rooted. Irish immigrants passed versions of the tradition during the Great Irish Famine. It was they who spread the custom of carving jack-o'-lantern (hollow giant pumpkin with a candle inside) [citation needed], inspired by the legend of "Stingy Jack."

However, the party did not start massively held until 1921. That year the first Halloween parade held in Minnesota and then was followed by other states. The party gradually acquired popularity in the following decades.

The internationalization of Halloween came in the late 1970s and early 1980s thanks to movies and TV series. In 1978, he made his debut in the US and worldwide Halloween, John Carpenter; a film set on the eve of All Saints which involved a reference to horror films of series B; with countless sequels and imitations.

Food

Caramel apples or candied.

Sweet apples with peanuts.

Since Halloween season coincides with harvest apples every year, candy apples (known as toffee apples outside North America), and sweet apples are common during the holidays.

Candy apples were commonly given to children, but the practice faded quickly in the wake of widespread rumors that some individuals imbedded objects like nails and razor blades in apples in the United States. While there is evidence of such incidents are very rare and have never resulted in serious injury. Many parents assume that these heinous practices were exaggerated by the media. At the peak of the hysteria, some hospitals offered free X-rays for children on Halloween, in order to find evidence of tampering. Few cases of poisoning known candies manipulated.

A custom that persists today in Ireland is preparing or buying a fruitcake, in which a single ring, a coin and other charms are placed before baking. It is said that those who find a ring will find their true love next year. This tradition is similar to the twisted roll of Kings on the feast of the Epiphany.

DEFINITION

The word "Halloween" [/ˌhæl.əʊiːn/] is used as such for the first time in the sixteenth century, and comes from a Scottish variation of the phrase "All Hallows 'Even" (also used "All Hallows' Eve") which means "eve of All Saints'.

He chose this issue because it is something commonly used to doing or rather celebrate every year since I can remember, I find it interesting because I had never investigated and would inform me even more because it is very little information that is available, aya is very other than that here because envez to give candy or something because things give nutritious fruit apple or something, I really like this topic.
