9. HALLOWEEN: NOCHE DE BRUJAS

10. WHERE IT COMES FROM HALLOWEEN? The first celebrations of Halloween, had their origin in the Celts who lived more than 2000 years ago, in what is now England, Ireland, Scotland and the North of France. WHEN IS CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN? We chose the October 31 because it is the day held by witches and Satanists as the most important of the year.

11. HOW DO AMERICANS CELEBRATE IT? Some families decorate their homes with witches, brooms, skeletons, black cats and other elements of terror and children, in the evening, dress up in costumes and go out and ask for candy from house to house. When they open the door, children say "Trick-or-treat!" (i.e. , ¡Trick or sweet! ). The owners of the house may choose to give them candy or to make a joke, for example, scare them off with a guise of terror.

12. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE PUMPKIN? All these men and women Celts and druids were worshippers of satan; which they took as flashlight a hollowed-out pumpkin and a candle inside were played to every household and asked for donations and persons who opposed them painted at the front door the satanic star and were throwing curses.

13. HALLOWEEN IN ARGENTINA In Argentina Halloween is more known in urban areas.The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and its surrounding area is where most evidence the date of Halloween especially by the merchandise trade that is sold in the streets and supermarkets: costumes, toys, games, candy, pinatas, balloons, decorative items, etc. Halloween is no more than a business event for boys in the shopping centers and for adolescents in the discotheques, some of them adopted and others passed as a day more. Many feel a certain sense hatred or revulsion toward the United States and with this, to the customs they try to bring to our country (such as Halloween or Valentine's Day), others do not feel, hatred or admiration but remain neutral, and some who admire him deeply and until they would like to see our country is like the USA or would like to live there permanently. Many people do not see with good eyes the celebration of Halloween, if Americans do not celebrate or hold any of our holidays, why us if?

14. The dark side of HALLOWEEN The day of Halloween, the druids were burned alive, animals and prisoners of war in honor to their god. As the same Spirit who inspired the druids and celts is the devil himself, the practice has not changed. Each year in the USA are lost about 60.000 children, who are sacrificed to satan and in sweets and fruits that your children pick up or ask for them, they put many times venom and the satanists that carefully do this consider it a sacrifice to their master satan.
