Memory of Halloween
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of All Hallows' Evening), also known as AllHalloween, All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
On Tuesday, our school’s cafeteria was decorate with Halloween elements. There was also a special table that served some cheese and cup cakes in a wired looking and some cookies which related to the Halloween.
Besides food, today’s Halloween customs are thought to have been influenced by folk customs and beliefs from the Celtic-speaking countries, some of which are believed to have pagan roots. People mostly wear clothes like ghost or some character in movies and cartoons. On Thursday, October 31th, our school’s student coming to school in their fine Halloween customs in order to respond to spirit week's Halloween theme. They are incredible. In my old school last year, we did a Bazaar on hallowed day. We bought and soles aloneness products. Some students also dressed up like ghost. We had fun there. So we think that we can do more things related to the Halloween that all students can join, but not just make a haunted house and someone just not feel like to find out what they are doing in the choir room. Like making the pumpkins lighter. Anyway, the house looked very scary and well prepared which illustrate that they prepared for it for a long time and wanted to add more Halloween atmosphere in school. Students who had fun or got more feelings of Halloween should thank them--the theater are students.
