The origins of halloween
Halloween (contraction of All Hallows 'Evening), also known as Halloween or All
Souls' Night, is a Celtic festival which takes place primarily in the United
States, northern Mexico, some provinces in Canada, Ireland and the United
Kingdom on the night of October 31. It originated in the Celtic festival of
Samhain and the Christian holiday of All Saints' Day. In large part, is a secular
celebration but some feel that has a religious background. Irish immigrants
passed versions of the tradition to North America during the Great Irish
Famine of 1840.
The day is often associated with the orange and black and is strongly associated
with symbols like the Jack-o'-lantern. Typical activities include the famous
Halloween trick or treating and costume parties, besides bonfires, visiting
haunted houses, jokes, reading scary stories and viewing horror films.
Symbols used in Halloween
The most representative symbol of Halloween is the previously empty pumpkin with a candle
inside. But this tradition has its origins in Ireland, where lanterns usually performed with
different types of tubers. The Irish settlers arriving as America made their flashlights with
pumpkins and that was when I first became associated carving pumpkins this Halloween eve.
In the last century the influence of American cinema has become the holiday of Halloween on
Halloween night, a dark and mysterious. The most common symbols of Halloween are
inspired by classic horror films, which contain all known figures like Dracula, Frankenstein,
The Mummy and the Werewolf. More modern horror antagonists has a pronounced role in this
festival, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees.

Old Witch, Old Witch
Chicken my chicken my creamy crow,
I went to the well to wash my toe,
When I got there the water was low,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?
What time is it Old Witch?
Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
She lives on nails and snails and flies
And if you go near she'll wobble her eyes,
Oh, she'll wobble her eyes, Oh, she'll wobble her eyes.
Chicken my chicken my creamy cran,
I went to the well to wash my hand,
When I got there the water was sand,
What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch?
What time is it Old Witch?
Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch,
And combs her hair with a hickory switch.
She's fat as a feather but tight in the middle
And when she talks she sounds like a fiddle.
Oh, she sound like a fiddle! Oh, she sound like a fiddle!

Spanish All Saints' Day VS Halloween
The Day of All Saints is a Catholic tradition
established in honor of All Saints, known and
unknown, according to Pope Urban IV, to
compensate for any lack in the feasts of the
saints during the year by the faithful.
In Catholic countries, is celebrated on November
1, while in the Orthodox Church celebrated the
first Sunday after Pentecost, but also celebrate
the Anglican and Lutheran churches. It venerates
the saints who do not have a feast in the
liturgical calendar itself. For a holiday tradition is
not working.
Today, children dress for the occasion and
walk the streets trick or treating from door
to door. After knocking at the door children
uttered the phrase "trick or treat ',' trick or
treating" or "naughty or sweet." If adults
give them candy, money or other reward,
is interpreted to have accepted the deal. If
instead they refuse, the boys spend a little
joke, the most common throw eggs or
shaving foam against the door.

The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow.
The story is set circa 1800 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry
Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow.
It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky, and
extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut,
who competes with Abraham “Brom Bones” Van Brunt, the
town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel,
the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane
leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an
autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman,
who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had
his head shot off by a stray cannonball during “some
nameless battle” of the American Revolutionary War, and
who “rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his
head”. Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, leaving
