i am telling you about halloween tradition in Belgium
the name Halloween comes from the name All Hallows Eye. this is a celebration observed in several countries on 31 October. The time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
this feast is more likely for children because they can put on a costume on the street. the parents also like this feast because they can make children that aren't there children by giving them candy.
in other countries they even have food traditions but we just go and collect candy (CANDY IS FOOD)
the Irish:
potato pancakes
fruit bread
mashed potatos and kale
the US:
caramel covered apples
roasted pumpkin seads
pumpkin spiced cookies
popcorn balls
ect....
my personal experience is that i do this activities every year even tough i am 16 yeras old. I would still do everything for candy. me and my friends first go with our little brothers or sisters and when they are tired and are at home, then we go on the streets and scare other children or adults. we do this to keep the feast alive in our neighborhood because we see less and less people on the streets on this eve.
Fact: my grandfather lives in Poland and they don't know this feast. In Poland they all go to the graves from there grand-parents this eve.
