Last month, we celebrated my uncles’ weeding. It was a great day for
everyone, but in the morning there were a lot of work to do. My aunt, mom,
cousins and I had to go to the hairdresser and my uncle had not yet picked up
his suit. Luckily everything is managed on time. It was raining, but the people
says it take good luck in celebrations like a weeding. After the weeding we
went to celebrate in a land where everything was ready for a fabulous dinner. There we take some photos because it is a very
beautiful place. Finally we danced and have a good time together.
It was a very
special day.
Halloween, one of the world's oldest holidays, is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe. The autumn rite is commemorated in the United Kingdom, although with a surprising and distinctive British twist. In Mexico, Latin America, and Spain, All Souls' Day, the third day of the three-day Hallowmas observance, is the most important part of the celebration for many people. In Ireland and Canada, Halloween, which was once a frightening and superstitious time of year, is celebrated much as it is in the United States, with trick-or-treating, costume parties, and fun for all ages.
The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (pronounced sow-in), which means "end of summer", the Celtic New year.
