  2. Halloween

    Share Share Post
    Hallow_Eve gets its name because it is the day before All-Saints Day.
    There are a lot of customs such as playing games, tricks and other things.
    People usually play games such as ducking jumping up to catch an apple hanging from the ceiling and putting a porringer of water on their heads and trying to kiss the ground without letting it spill or fall off their heads.
    There are a lot of superstitions too. Some people would be afraid to go out at night afraid of fairies and they would not go by a fort
