Dear Vardaki, here:
It �s accurate enough. You �ll find more, if you google Halloween. And, as Eng78 suggested, if you search this site for this Halloween contents, you �ll find some awesome stuff (60 pages, just to mention the printables!).
Have a good day.
(there are no silly questions, dear Vardaki; not so sure about answers  )
Best regards.

I understood that it is a celebration as carnival or the Christmas. What is celebrated in what religion?

No, dear Vardaki, nothing to do with Xmas. It �s a pagan festival. It was blended into religions, that �s what most religions did with pagan rituals.
For instance: in Portugal we have Bread for God �s mercy! See? The old pagan ritual was blended into Catholicism. Children knock at doors and say: Bread for God �s mercy! and we offer: money, cakes, fruit, whatever...
It �s not as funny as Halloween, though. Check Halloween at teacher�s Youtube. You �ll find some good trailers. |
