Black Cat Halloween
0) The most popular game on the eve of Halloween is “Biting Apples”. In the game, people will put some apples floating in the water with a big basin, then let the children to bite at these apples without using their hands, and the winner is the first one who bite an apple successfully.
1) Halloween is always celebrated on 31 October.
??
2) Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world, dating back over 2000 years to the time of the Celts who lived in Britain
??
3) Halloween is correctly spelt as Hallowe’en and Halloween is also known by other names:
- All Hallows Eve
- Samhain
- All Hallowtide
- The Feast of the Dead
- The Day of the Dead
- Nos Calan Gaeaf (Halloween in Welsh)
4) In Mexico, they celebrate Halloween or the Day of the Dead starting the evening of October 31.
5) When the Romans conquered England, they merged Samhain with their own festivals, a harvest festival called Poloma, and a celebration for the dead called Feralia.
6) When Christianity came to England and the rest of Europe, 1 November became All Saints Day – a day dedicated to all those saints who didn’t have a special day of their own. They performed a mass called ‘All hallows mass’ and the night before became known as All Hallows E’en and eventually Hallowe’en or Halloween.
??
7) Black cats were originally believed to protect witches’ powers from negative forces.
About 99% of pumpkins sold are used as Jack O’ Lanterns at Halloween.
9) It is thought that the colors orange and black became Halloween colors because orange is associated with harvests (Halloween masks the end of harvest) and black is associated with death.
10) A pumpkin is really a squash, and comes from the same family as the cucumber.
11) The biggest pumpkin in the world tipped the scales at a whopping 1,446 pounds. This gigantic gourd was weighed in October 2004 at a pumpkin festival in Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada.
12) Top Tips for Halloween: If your pumpkin lantern shrivels up, you can restore it by soaking it overnight in water to rehydrate it.
13) The very first jack o’ lantern was made out of hollowed out turnips.
14) The record for the fastest pumpkin carver in the world is Jerry Ayers of Baltimore, Ohio. He carved a pumpkin in just 37 seconds!
15) If you see a spider on this night, it could be the spirit of a dead loved one who is watching you.
16) Ringing a bell on Halloween eve scares evil spirits away.
??
17) If you want to meet a witch, put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards on Halloween night.
