1, Halloween in England
Britain is the birthplace of Halloween, but every place has its own unique activities: in the middle and late period of 10 every year, you can feel the "supernatural" atmosphere in the streets of London. During Halloween, many past execution scenes will be restored near the Tower of London, and people seem to feel ghosts when visiting.

2. American Halloween
Halloween was introduced to America in 1840. Due to the famine in Ireland at that time, a large number of Irish immigrated to the United States, and they also brought the custom of celebrating Halloween to the United States.
On this day, all shops in America sell ghost-shaped food, candy, clothes and masks. Because the pumpkin lantern is a symbol of the festival, every household has to buy pumpkins to make it and hold a pumpkin lantern competition.
In the evening, children will take part in candy begging activities. They carry pumpkin lanterns and beg for candy from door to door. If the host doesn't give candy, the children will make trouble for the host in various ways, or throw garbage at the host's door, or trample the pumpkin at their door. This is the famous trick or treat.
3. Halloween in Canada
Halloween is also called "Ghost Festival" in Canada. That night, Canadians dressed up as terrible people, hoping to scare away the "ghosts". People disguised as "ghosts", whether adults or children, have been carrying bags from door to door to ask for sugar, and the offices of the Governor-General and the Prime Minister of Canada are even more crowded.
Before Halloween, on the first Monday in June, 5438+00, there was also a pumpkin festival in Canada, which was also regarded as the country's Thanksgiving Day. By then, there will be mountains of orange pumpkins in supermarkets and orchards. After people buy pumpkins, they will make many unique pumpkin cakes, pumpkin cakes or pumpkin ribs, all of which are delicious.
4. Halloween in France
Halloween is not a tradition in France, but it has gradually become popular in France in recent years. 1982, a restaurant named "AmericanDream" in Paris began to celebrate Halloween. At that time, restaurant staff had to explain to the French what they were celebrating.
At 1995, Halloween is almost a household name. Older French people will also show disdain when they talk about it, thinking that it is an American holiday, while children are eager to ask for candy from door to door.
On Halloween, the French usually go to Montmartre Cemetery and Father Raz Cemetery in Paris to offer chrysanthemums. There are thousands of flower shops along the way from Paris to these two cemeteries, filled with fragrant and elegant chrysanthemums, and people who go to the cemeteries are in an endless stream. On this day, Catholics will thank and praise the Lord, and pray for the saints in heaven, so that God can accept the prayers of believers.
