Halloween is one of the oldest festivals in the world; it roots from the Celtic harvest festival called Samhain which later was transformed to All-Hallows-Even, the night before the All Saints’ Day, which is celebrated on October, 31. The legend says that during the night souls of the dead visit their former homes to get warmed by the fire. They wander around, collecting donations of food and drinks from their former family.
Along with them other dark creatures like demons, goblins, and witches come. In order not to fall prey to them, people lit candles and fires and dress up as terrible as possible - into animal skins and heads, hoping to scare evil spirits away. Hence, there was a tradition to cut scary faces on a potato or pumpkin, and put candles inside to get a kind of flashlight. Nowadays, despite the fact that many people do not remember the true history of this day, Halloween has become one of the most funny, intriguing, and mysterious events.
