@ All Hallow’s Even (Vigilia de todos los Santos) = "HALLOWEEN" 28 octubre 2008

Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is an international holiday celebrated on October 31.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o’-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.

Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century.

Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints’ official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.
