They usually stick pumpkins shaped human face and put candles inside to give the idea of terror. Priests Druids of ancient Britain believed that witches, demons and spirits of dead people were hovering on the eve of November 1. To protect themselves from evil spirits, the Druids offered them things to eat and disguised themselves with masks, so that the spirits do not harm them. Brought to America by settlers, Halloween, nowadays, eh one of the most popular festivals in many countries, including here in Brazil. The Catholic Church designated November 1 to honor all the saints (All Saints or All Hallows). The night before All Saints 'Day (All Saints Day) was called All Saints' Day (All Hallows Even). This expression (All Hallows Even) was shortened to Halloween. On the eve of All Saints.
