Quelle est l'origine de cette fête?

Halloween est une fête qui se célèbre le 31 octobre, veille de la Toussaint.  C'est une fête folklorique anglo-saxonne d'origine celtique.
La légende raconte que Jack ne peut pas entrer au paradis, car il est avare, ni en enfer, car il s'est moqué du diable. C'est pour cela qu'il erre en s'éclairant d'une lanterne. On a symbolisé cette histoire en creusant des citrouilles en tête de Jack et en mettant une bougie à l'intérieur pour en faire une lanterne.

Comment fête-t-on Halloween en France?

Les enfants se déguisent avec des costumes qui font peur (fantômes, sorcières, monstres, vampires..) pour aller de porte en porte en quête de bonbons, chocolat et autres sucreries. De quoi donner la chair de poule et faire une peur bleue à tout le voisinage!
