Halloween1     Halloween is a festival with a Celtic origin. It is celebrated on the night of 31st October , in English speaking countries (USA, United Kingdom, Canada…) and all over the world. 
Little children go from door to door asking for candy – that’s the trick or treat. Other activities are custome parties, playing bob for apples, lighting bonfires and listening to horror stories.

 

Witches, black cats, ghosts, jack o’lanterns, skeletons… These are the typical Hallowe’en characters.

Some of them are in these songs:

the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
We see no reason why
Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!”
Words to Guy Fawkes Rhyme 

 

bonfire night mosaicOn 5 November every year, children in Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes’ Night). They lit bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire is a guy (a homemade dummy, like a scarecrow). They also eat sausages  and jacked potatoes.

They do these things because they remember the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the king James I. It was the Gunpowder Plot.
