The 31st of November is a religious ([rɪ'lɪʤəs]
религиозный) holiday known as All Saints’ Day. The
evening before became known as Halloween. Many
centuries (['senʧərɪ] век) ago Celts ([kelts] кельты)
celebrated (праздновали) Halloween in Ireland and
Scotland. They believed (верили) that evil spirits (злые
духи) visited the earth on the 31st of October at night
before All Holy Ones' Day. Here comes the name:
Halloween from “hallo” – saint and “eve” – evening.
Celts were afraid (боялись) of witches and dressed up
costumes to frighten (испугать) evil spirits. They also put
food and small presents for witches at the doors of their
houses. Here comes the word expression (выражение):
“trick or treat”.

Today there are lots of Hallowe’en parties. People dress
up as witches, ghosts, devils, cats or bats. Houses are
decorated (украшать) with pumpkins (тыквы) and
candles inside them (внутри них). Some children
follow the American custom called Trick or Treat. They
knock (стучать) at your house and ask, “Trick or
Treat?” If you give some money or some sweets (a
treat), they go away. If not, they can play a trick on you,
like splashing (плеснуть) water in your face. No
Halloween party is complete (завершена) without a
scary ['skɛərɪ] story (страшилка). Usually people crowd
([kraud] собираются) together around a fire on
Halloween night. And one person tells a scary story in a
low voice.
