Halloween





In the Catholic and Protestant countries, Halloween is a family holiday got by mixing "All Saints Day" and Celtic Samhain. Halloween is celebrated in the West in the majority of schools and universities. This is a holiday recognized by UNICEF.

In our country, as elsewhere in the CIS, Halloween is a celebration, imported and marginal, is more an occasion for friends to gather and organize a masquerade than the actual holiday. The masquerade is always fun here.
