On October 31, Americans celebrate Halloween
Halloween Means " Holy"(Hallow) "Evening" (een).
This is the evening before the Christian holy day of all Saints Day. On All Saints Day, Christians remember the Saints but Halloween is even older than Christianity .
Before Christianity, People in Europe believed that on October 31 ghosts of dead people came back .
To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils and were very noisy. They also made big fires to keep the ghosts away . Later, people did not believe in ghosts,but they kept the day of Halloween for FUN.
