First started by the Celts in Ireland as a festival called (Sah-win) Samhain, it was celebrated on November 1<sup>st<\/sup> to welcome the new year, give thanks for the harvest, and honor departed loved ones.&nbsp; And over the centuries, this annual celebration has spread across the world and evolved into all sorts of wonderful celebrations and festivities.&nbsp; So, let\u2019s learn about some of these amazing events on or around \u201cAll Hallowed Eve\u201d or \u201cHalloween.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we travel to <strong>Austria<\/strong>, where locals don\u2019t celebrate Halloween, but rather \u201cAllerseelen\u201d or \u201cAll Souls\u2019 Day,\u201d where they visit graves and light candles to honor departed loved ones.&nbsp; They may also leave out bread and water at home or keep a light on to assist beloved spirits on their earthly visits home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>China<\/strong>, they celebrate (tang-she) Teng Chieh, or the \u201cHungry Ghost Festival.\u201d&nbsp; This event is held on the 15<sup>th<\/sup> day of the 7<sup>th<\/sup> lunar month (which rotates every year and lands between mid-August and early September).&nbsp; At dusk, town folk present offerings of food and water for the spirits, display pictures of departed loved ones, and light fragrant incense.&nbsp; It is hoped that by doing so, they will make wandering ghosts happy and these ghosts will then bestow blessings instead of punishment on the living.&nbsp; After making these offerings, families gather for a big feast and leave an empty place at the table for a departed loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Hong Kong<\/strong>, another part of <strong>China<\/strong>, they have embraced America\u2019s love of Halloween and turned it into a huge party.&nbsp; Places like Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park Hong Kong hold songfests performed by Disney villains, Halloween-themed street performances, costume parades, haunted houses, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in <strong>France<\/strong>, they hardly celebrate Halloween at all.&nbsp; In fact, they barely tolerate it.&nbsp; They consider it a purely American event.&nbsp; Instead, they honor All Saints Day on November 1<sup>st<\/sup>.&nbsp; As you may have learned in one of our previous episodes, Pope Benedict IV created All Saints Day to honor Catholic saints instead of Celtic \u2013 and pagan \u2013 ghosts, witches, and fairies.&nbsp; To this day, French citizens honor the religious aspect of Halloween by attending church services and visiting cemeteries to place flowers on loved ones\u2019 graves.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Germany<\/strong> doesn\u2019t go overboard for Halloween but instead, they celebrate St. Martin\u2019s Day on November 11<sup>th<\/sup> in honor of the Catholic Saint Martin who was a Roman soldier and later became a monk. On this day, thousands of people parade through town following a Roman soldier on a white horse.&nbsp; At dusk, children fill the streets carrying lanterns and singing songs for candy, money, or treats.&nbsp; Once at home, the children devour sweet rolls shaped like gingerbread men.&nbsp; These treats are called \u201cThe Weckmann\u201d and sport raisin eyes and white pipes dangling from their mouths.&nbsp; November 11<sup>th<\/sup> is also the start of their festival season, which starts on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> minute past the 11<sup>th<\/sup> hour on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> day of the 11<sup>th<\/sup> month and runs through the following February!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Haiti<\/strong>, they celebrate Fet Gede, the \u201cFestival of the Dead\u201d or the \u201cFestival of the Ancestors\u201d which is derived from African traditions honoring the spirits of fertility and death.&nbsp; On November 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, celebrations are held that are quite \u201cspirited\u201d and include lots of dancing and drumming in the streets, as well as singing and laughter.&nbsp; People parade to graveyards where they joyously offer food, beeswax candles, flowers, and bottles of rum stuffed with chilis to please departed souls and bring good luck in the year ahead.&nbsp; It is similar to a blending of Mardi Gras, Halloween, and Dia de Los Muertos and is a lively and colorful tradition on the island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ireland<\/strong> is the original home of Halloween.&nbsp; The Celts used to hold a celebration called \u201cSamhain\u201d on November 1<sup>st<\/sup> to welcome the new year and the start of winter.&nbsp; At this time, they also celebrated the year\u2019s harvest and honored departed loved ones.&nbsp; Bonfires were lit at sundown, masks were worn, and feasts were enjoyed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, revelers in Derry light fireworks instead of bonfires and hold a huge carnival.&nbsp; In Dublin, they enjoy a Halloween parade and ghost tours at Malahide Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in Ireland that is said to be haunted by five ghosts! One of their favorite Halloween treats is a dense cake called Barmbrack filled with raisins, currants, and other candied fruits. Inside these cakes, bakers hide a rag, ring, and coin.&nbsp; It is believed that whoever gets the rag will join the church or have a rocky financial future, whoever gets the ring will find happiness or marry, and whoever finds the coin will enjoy a new year filled with prosperity. Of course, trick-or-treating is also a favorite pastime, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in France, <strong>Italians<\/strong> celebrate \u201cAll Saints\u2019 Day\u201d or \u201cLa Festa di Ognissanti\u201d on November 1<sup>st<\/sup>.&nbsp; They spend the holiday enjoying time with family and exchanging presents.&nbsp; On November 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, the citizens celebrate \u201cAll Souls\u2019 Day\u201d in honor of departed loved ones. They attend mass, leave chrysanthemums on graves, and hold a big feast.&nbsp; They believe they are not only eating with their living family members on this day but also with departed loved ones. Special cookies called \u201cFave dei Morti\u201d or \u201cbeans of the dead\u201d are baked. And why the reference to beans, you may ask?&nbsp; Well, in ancient Rome, beans were used during funeral services because it was believed they housed the spirits of the departed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Japan<\/strong>, Halloween has only been celebrated since the year 2000 and was started at Tokyo Disneyland.&nbsp; The Japanese don\u2019t follow customs such as pumpkin carving or trick-or-treating, but rather hold huge parades and participate in cosplay, flash mobs, zombie runs, and street parties &#8211; or even big bashes on commuter trains!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout <strong>Latin America<\/strong> and <strong>Spain<\/strong>, locals hold celebrations for three days from October 31<sup>st<\/sup> through November 2<sup>nd <\/sup>and these may contain Aztec, Mayan, Incan, and Catholic traditions. Many believe the dead return home on Halloween night, so they erect colorful alters and decorate graves with candies, flowers, plants, food,  and drink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 1<sup>st<\/sup>, they celebrate \u201cAll Saints\u2019 Day.\u201d&nbsp; Covered \u201csitting rooms\u201d are attached to family graves, where they honor their loved ones by bringing their favorite foods and music.&nbsp; They may decorate alters, graves, or costumes with the orange-colored \u201cMexican Marigolds,\u201d a pre-Columbus tradition performed by ancient tribes.&nbsp; In some regions, they fly huge kites with attached messages as a way of communicating with the spirits or guiding them back to their earthly homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>November 2<sup>nd<\/sup> is known as \u201cDia de Los Muertos,\u201d \u201cDay of the Dead,\u201d or \u201cAll Souls\u2019 Day,\u201d and lively events are held in a colorful celebration of life.&nbsp; Parades and painted skeleton faces \u2013 called \u201cCatrinas\u201d or \u201cSugar Skulls\u201d \u2013 are common, as are treats called \u201cTanta Wawas de Pan,\u201d or \u201cBread Babies.\u201d&nbsp; These are sweet rolls baked in the form of infants, horses, stars, suns, and moons to signify life, death, and Mother Earth.&nbsp; Candles are lit and incense are burned, all to welcome spirits back home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halloween is not a huge event in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holland.com\/global\/tourism.htm\"><strong>The Netherlands<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;besides trick-or-treating, but on November 11th, the Dutch celebrate the festival of \u201cSint-Maarten\u201d in honor of the Catholic saint of the same name.&nbsp; In the past, this day used to be considered a \u201cbeggar\u2019s holiday\u201d because St. Martin was known for his generosity towards the poor. These days, masses are attended and Dutch children carry lanterns through the streets, knocking on doors, and singing songs for candy.&nbsp; Though less popular today, some revelers might light bonfires like the original Celts or conduct processions through town in honor of the saint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Philippines<\/strong>, citizens hold a three-day event called Pangangaluluwa, which starts on October 31<sup>st<\/sup> with a marathon of movies and TV shows.&nbsp; On November 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, like in other countries, they visit graves with family members to honor departed loved ones.&nbsp; The children also go door-to-door dressed up in costumes, but instead of asking for treats, they sing songs and ask for prayers for wandering souls.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Day of the Witches\u201d or \u201cDia das Bruxas\u201d is celebrated in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitportugal.com\/en\"><strong>Portugal<\/strong><\/a> at Halloween time.&nbsp; Families visit graves and leave flowers and candles for their ancestors, while children celebrate by trick-or-treating for bread, nuts, and fruits instead of candy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Night of the Pumpkins\u201d or \u201cNoite dos Calac\u00fas\u201d is celebrated in Galicia, <strong>Spain<\/strong>.&nbsp; On this night, people dress up in costumes, light bonfires, and tell ghost stories.&nbsp; They also follow an old Celtic tradition of brewing an alcoholic drink of distilled wine, herbs, coffee and coffee beans, sugar, lemon peel, and cinnamon in a hollowed-out pumpkin.&nbsp; While they are making the drink, they recite an incantation \u2013 possibly to bestow special powers on the drink and drinkers \u2013 or to ward off evil spirits. The liquid is then set alight and burns a bright blue color like a steaming cauldron.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in Transylvania, <strong>Romania<\/strong>, a huge party is held at Bran Castle, possibly the inspiration for the home of the fictional character Count Dracula, and festivities include costumed revelers, howling wolf sounds, and red-colored drinks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aren\u2019t all these traditions amazing?&nbsp; They honor everything from the new year, the arrival of winter, and the fall harvest to saints, souls, and spirits.&nbsp; The overriding theme in many countries is remembering our ancestors and those who have passed.&nbsp; These festivities are rarely somber affairs, but rather loving tributes and celebrations of life.&nbsp; Whether we honor the harvest by bobbing for apples and begging for treats, scare away spirits with bonfires and fireworks, or remember loved ones with food and drink, we are more similar across the world than we are different at this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However you celebrate, we wish you a happy holiday season ahead.&nbsp;
