Halloween Around the World

Friday October 30, 2009

Halloween traditions vary by geography. If you are in Austria, you would probably leave some bread and water for the departed souls. Ireland, the place where Halloween is said to originate from, celebrates Halloween in spectacular style. Visit Dublin, Ireland, for the Halloween festival fiesta. In the U.S., Halloween is second only to Christmas. Children go door-to-door in spooky costumes, collecting treats from friendly neighbors. Adults have "Halloween nights" with themed parties and pumpkin pies. The Swedish like to celebrate Halloween by remembering their deceased friends and relatives. Honoring the dead by lighting candles by their graves is the Swedish Halloween.

Other countries like Russia, Mexico, Sweden, Germany, Japan, and Madagascar, also celebrate Halloween in their own unique way. Whatever country you are in, make sure that you have a fun-filled Halloween night. Here are some Halloween quotes to get you into the spooky mood!
