00:00:12,269 --> 00:00:31,769
Happy Halloween to me and you. Happy Halloween to Sparky too. Pumpkins here and pumpkins there. Halloween pumpkins everywhere.

2
00:00:31,769 --> 00:01:03,490
Halloween is celebrated in most of the occidental countries on the 31st of October.

3
00:01:04,269 --> 00:01:08,269
The day commemorates the All Saints' Day or the Hallows' Day.

4
00:01:08,909 --> 00:01:11,769
Let's now decide to the story of Halloween.

5
00:01:21,859 --> 00:01:26,980
It all began more than 2,500 years ago in UK.

6
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:32,200
Cells celebrated a party in honor of Zabzahen, their death god.

7
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:37,019
In October the 31st, in our calendar, was the end of the year,

8
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,859
and cells believed spirits could leave the cemetery.

9
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,700
So, they made their houses look like dirt,

10
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,099
and they decorated them with bones, skulls, and other things like those.

11
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:52,620
They made enormous fires, too.

12
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:00,609
When Romans conquered the Celtic territory,

13
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:03,409
the other two more celebrations,

14
00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:05,310
Feralia, for the people,

15
00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:08,430
and Pomuna, the fruit and tree goddess.

16
00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:15,689
Then the Christian beliefs were stranded on the Celtic territory,

17
00:02:16,349 --> 00:02:20,289
declaring the first day of November the All Hallows' Day.

18
00:02:23,469 --> 00:02:29,729
Around 1846, the Irish emigrants took this celebration to USA,

19
00:02:29,729 --> 00:02:37,530
And nowadays, Halloween is celebrated in lots of countries, with witches, skeletons, gods,

20
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:45,639
bats, black cats, and the jack-o'-lantern pumpkin.

21
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,259
This is the most famous symbol in Halloween.

22
00:02:49,259 --> 00:02:54,979
This tradition comes from an ages-old legend.

23
00:02:54,979 --> 00:02:58,520
A man called Jack, took a Satan.

24
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:06,000
When he died, he couldn't go to heaven because he was bad, and he couldn't go to hell because he had food to eat.

25
00:03:06,659 --> 00:03:18,120
So Satan gave him a piece of burning coal inside a tournament to illuminate his way among the shadows until the day of the last judgment.

26
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:31,259
When the Irish immigrants arrived to the USA, they knew the bankings.

27
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:37,860
They were bigger and easier to make hues in them than turnips, and they stopped using turnips.

28
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:45,789
Now is your turn. Read and answer these questions.

00:03:47,629 --> 00:03:52,810
