- Task 3. Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS). October 31 is Halloween. It is a funny event in the USA and in the UK and, now, in many other countries. Halloween has Celtic origins The Celtic calendar was divided in two parts Summer was from May to the end of October and winter was from November to the end of April There was a special festivity of Samhain, celebrated at the end of the year the Start of the Winter. It began on the 31 st of October and continued until next day On October 31, Celts (who were great performers) performed religious rituals and talked about future events. The Celts believed that ghosts, witches, and evil spirits returned on the night of October 31. For this reason, they wore frightening costumes and made big bonfires to send them away. The colours of Halloween (orange and black) are of Celtic origin, too. Orange was the colour of the harvest and black was the colour of the winter and long nights. Black cats are also popular among Halloween symbols because Celts believed they had special powers. During the centuries, the Cathohe Church tried to explain this phenomenon, and in the 18th century, decided to call the evening of the 31 st of October All Hallow's Eve (The day before the festivity of all the saints/hallows) All Saint Day was on the 1st of November. Now, Halloween is celebrated all over the world and it is becoming more and more popular. Many children and adults go to Halloween parties wearing spooky costumes and creepy masks. Some typical costumes are witches, ghosts, skeletons, monsters, vampires and many people also get dressed as aliens, mummies and also fairies. At school children make decorations for their classrooms such as pumpkins, ghosts, bats, witches There are many party games such as like Apple Bobbing and the most traditional one the Trick or Treating'.
