Слайд 8History
Many hundreds of years ago, a people called the Celts lived in Europe and
on the British Isles. The Celts believed (верить) that the souls of the dead (души умерших) visited Earth on the last day of October. They had a festival in honor (в честь) of these souls of the dead, and they called it Samhain.

People once believed that there were many ghosts and witches on
the Earth and that they met on 31, October to worship(поклоняться) the devil.
Слайд 11Today, people do not believe in ghosts and witches but they
like to tell stories about them on Halloween.
Слайд 12Traditions

door saying "trick or treat".

Слайд 20The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish used to carry turnips with candles in them
to light their way at night and to scare away (отпугивать) ghosts..
Слайд 21An Irish legend says that Jack-O'-Lanterns are named after the man
called Jack.
He could not enter heaven (рай) because he was a miser (скряга), and he could not enter hell (ад) because he had played jokes (шутки) on devil. As a result, Jack has to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgment Day (Судный День- конец света).
Слайд 23When they arrived in America they found that pumpkins were both
plentiful (многочисленны) and easier to carve (вырезать) than turnips.
Слайд 24Now, Jack-O-Lanterns are used for decorating people’s homes.
Слайд 25At Halloween parties children play traditional games. Many games date back
to the harvest ( плодовые)festivals of very ancient (древние) times.
Слайд 26One of the most popular is called bobbing (нырять) for apples.
One child at a time has to get apples from a tub (ванна) of water without using hands. But how to do this? By sinking his or her face into the water and biting (кусание) the apple!
