Halloween is celebrated in America October 31 of each year. Halloween was not,
at least at the beginning, a Christian celebration. It was a celebration of the pagan druids
(priests). Dressing up in costumes was done to keep away the spirits of the dead.
Druids asked for food from house to house. If they did not get what they wanted,
they would cast spells upon the people of the house and bring sickness and damage.
