Halloween is a pagan festivity celebrated on October 31st. Some people spell it Halloween, the Holy evening, because it is the night before All Saints Day, when ghosts and witches walk the earth. Its name is Celtic, and also means "End of Summer". Another legend concern Jack o'Lantern. Jack was an Irish maker, mean and drunk, one night he met the devil that promised him a last drink for his soul. At his death, Jack can't entry in the paradise or in the hell, but he searches a refuge in the earth with a lantern in a pumpkin. In fact, we prepare sweets for his arrival.
