Halloween is one of the most famous and celebrated holidays in the United States. Each year, on the eve of All Saint's Day, October 31, American kids and grown-ups dress up as mythical monsters or historical and pop-culture figures and honor the dead and their spirits. The ritual of trick-or-treating, knocking on the doors of neighbors dressed in costume, is a highly anticipated event and considered a right of passage in the United States. The neighbor provides a treat, usually candy, in order not to be the victim of a trick.
Halloween is said to be the Catholic continuation of the ancient Celtic festival Samhain, a time when ghosts and other creatures of the night were supposed to roam the land. The holiday has been celebrated in one form or another since 834 BC.
Aside from dressing up, Halloween is a celebration of food and the harvest. Pumpkins, apples, cake, and nuts are just a part of the traditional Halloween table. Carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns to ward off evil spirits is another time-honored tradition.
