Explore Halloween atmosphere around the world

(Baonghean.vn) - Halloween is a big festival in many countries around the world from Asia, Europe to America, with participants dressing up as scary and creepy faces. And each country will have a different way of welcoming Halloween. Let's take a look at some countries during this special festival.

1 - USA

In America, Halloween is celebrated very grandly.

Halloween is a bustling, luxurious and noisy festival in the United States. It is an opportunity for people to hide their social status and true self to explore the dark side of human nature in a fun and harmless way. It is also an occasion to ward off evil spirits and prevent them from destroying crops or causing trouble for people. Halloween has become an occasion for "mischief" - especially for children because they can dress up and go from house to house to mischief and demand candy.

2 - English

People turned into bloodthirsty corpses in Bristol, England.

The highlight of the annual Halloween festival is the bonfire. During the festival, people always see bonfires burning on the streets of England. However, unlike Halloween in other places in the world, these bonfires are not to ward off evil spirits and wandering souls, but to remind the story of Guy Fawkes, who intended to blow up the Council House in London in 1605 according to the church calendar. He was met with a tragic death. It is believed that the Pope at that time used the revolutions to reform Christianity in England. Many effigies of Guy Fawkes were burned.

3 - France

Halloween in France.

The French also love dressing up, throwing parties, and trick-or-treating. Every year there is a parade of ghouls and ghosts in the town of Limoges, and a big party in Paris to celebrate Halloween. Costumes in France tend to be scary—mummies, goblins, witches, vampires, etc.—not princesses, princes, or cartoon characters like in the United States. Trick-or-treating is rare, and if it does happen, it is not from house to house but from store to store.

4 - Germany

In Germany, people celebrate Halloween with great joy and excitement. In addition to the pumpkin lanterns that every house has, Halloween in Germany is also the activity that attracts the most participation.

In Germany, Halloween is celebrated as All Saints' Day. In southern Germany, the festival is held from October 30 to November 8. Typically, on this occasion, as in many other Catholic communities around the world, Germans will go to church to pray, pay respect to the Saints who sacrificed for the Catholic faith, as well as visit graves and remember deceased family members.

5- Japan

6 - Republic of Ireland

Unlike Halloween in other countries, in Ireland this festival is also called Samhain.

As the birthplace of Halloween, Ireland is home to one of the world's biggest Halloween celebrations.

On the last day, they often hold a mass for the souls of the dead.

They believe this is a way to welcome the souls back.
