The holiday known as "Halloween" is the most popular holiday in the United States, after Christmas.
"Halloween" is the night between October 31 and November 1 that is celebrated mainly in the United States of America but has recently begun to spread more widely in Europe, from where it has its source.
As a word, it is formed from the word "all - hallows - even" which means "Night of All Saints, also known as "Night of Witches".
During this holiday people dress up in different costumes, often scary, and go to visit each other's houses, or gather together to celebrate.
The top 10 Halloween symbols are: Corn and Wheat, Orange and Black, Spiders, Bats, Black Cats, Skeletons, Ghosts, Masks, Costumes and Witches.
There are different versions of Halloween traditions, but the true origins can be found in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain. In old Scotland it was thought to be the night of October 31st, when there was no longer a boundary between the world of the living and the dead.
Legend has it that the souls who had died during that year would gather together to mingle with the world of the living and then make their way to another world.
On the last night of the autumn harvest, the world changes from the warmth of the summer sun to the dark cold of winter, the land from fertile to barren.
The ancient Celts believed that this transition gave supernatural forms a chance to break through into the world of the living and their diabolical destruction to flourish.
In the United States of America, the American President Barak Obama and the first lady, Michele Obama, for years, have organized receptions with homemade desserts cooked by the presidential chef.
The White House was filled with pumpkins, vampires and evil spirits, spider webs and other symbols of the holiday. Halloween is a $7 billion industry in the US and ranks as the second holiday after Christmas.
