Halloween in the world

Halloween. It's time to watch horrible movie and pumpkin carving. When I was little I really liked Halloween. Although I was not talented to create and cut, so I was often dissatisfied. In the pumpkin I put the candle and put it out. From the window I watched it shine. In time, I stopped doing it, but it's nice memory
For today I've decided to write what people in other countries are working for Halloween. In the comments you can write what you are doing for the Halloween night.

Ireland

In ireland which is considered to be where Halloween, the day is still celebrated much like it is in the United States. In rural areas, bonfires are lit as they were centuries ago, and all over the country, children get dressed up in costumes and spend the evening "trick-or-treating" in ther neighborhoods.At the parties, many games are played, including "snap-apple", game in a which an apple on a string is tried a doorframe or tree and players attempt to bite the hanging apple. In addition to boobing for apples, parents often arrange treasure hunts, with candy or pastries as the "treasure". A traditional food eaten on Halloween is barnbrack,a kind of fruitcake that can be bought in stores or baked at home.

Austira

In Austria, people leave bread, water, and candle light before bedtime. The reason is that they were once convinced that dead souls would come where they lived before they died.

China

In China,the Halloween festival is known as  Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of  family members who have deparated while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light the  paths of the spirits as they travel the earth on Halloween night.  In Buddhist temples, they create "boats of the law" from paper,some of which are very large, which are then burned in the evening hours. then merge with dinner.

Czechoslovakia

In Czechoslovakia, chairs are placed by the fireside on Halloween night. There is one chair for each living family member and one for each family member's spirit.

England

Englisch children made "punkies" out of large beets, upon which they carved a design of their choice. Then, they would carry their "punkies"  throught the streets while singing the "Punkie Night Song" as they  knocket on doors and asked for money. 

In some rural areas , turnip lanterns were placed on gateposts to protect homes from the spirits who roamed on Halloween night. Another custom was to toos objects such as stones, vegetables and nuts into a bonfire to frighten away the spirits. These symbolic sacrifices were also used as fortune-telling tools. If a pebble thrown into the flames at night was no longer visible in the morning, then it was believed that the person who tossed the pebble would not survive another year.

Hong Kong 

The Halloween celebration in Hong Kong is know as "Yue Lan" and is a time when it is believed that spirits roam the world for twenty-four hours. Some people burn pictures of fruit or money at this time, believing these images  would reachthe spirit world and bring comfort to the ghosts.

Mexico, Latin Ameriaca and Spain

Officially commemorated on November 2, the three-day celebration actually begins on the evening of October 31. Designed to honor the dead ago are believed to return to their homes on Halloween, many families construct an altar in their home and decorate it with candy, flowers, photographs, fresh water and samples of the deceased's  favorite foods and drinks. Frequently, a basin and tower are left out in order that the spirit can wash prior  to indulging in the feast. Candles are incense are burned to help the departed find his or her way home. On November 2, relatives gather at the gravesites to picnic and reminisce. Relatives also tidy the gravesites of deceased family members, including snipping weeds, making repairs and painting. In the villages , parades are held. People dress as skeletons and dance in the streets. Often, a live person is placed inside  a coffin which is then paraded through the streets while vendors toss fruit, flowers and candies into the basket. Home feast are held and loaves of bread "Bread of the Dead" are given. Inside the loaves are sugar skeletons or other items of death motif.
