In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV approved November 1 as All Saints' Day, wanting to distract the British from pagan customs. Later, November 2 became the Day of All the Dead - when all the dead were remembered. However, the traditions were preserved in the people's memory, and it was not possible to completely defeat them.

In Ukraine🎃 Halloween, like in many other countries, is celebrated on October 31👻🎃. In Ukraine, the holiday has an unofficial status and does not have certain traditions of celebration. In Ukraine, the main traditions of the celebration were the decoration of the house and the choice of bright costumes. Pumpkin lanterns are not widely known, but some still carve them for decoration.

In recent years, the holiday has thoroughly returned to Europe, it is also popular in America and some Asian countries. Children dress up as monsters and go to neighboring houses, bargaining for sweets. There are also theme parties, fireworks, masquerades, and to scare away spirits, a hollow pumpkin with carved eyes and a mouth and a candle inside is displayed in the window.

Children and adults need to give sweets and gifts for Halloween👻.
Ukrainians approach the choice of a festive image responsibly and always amaze with original costumes.
During the war, I think that few Ukrainians will celebrate Halloween, but this is not a reason to deny yourself eating sweets!))) 🎃
Happy Halloween everyone! Don't forget to give all the kids candy or they'll tell you "Candy or life" lol
