Χαλοουίν: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

Στο Χάλογουιν, τα παιδιά ντύνονται σε κάτι «τρομακτικό» και επισκέπτονται σπίτια μαζεύοντας πολλά γλυκά, γνωστό ως «trick or treat» ή «φάρσα ή κέρασμα». Επίσης, η κολοκύθα αποτελεί σύμβολο της εορτής. Ακόμη, οι άνθρωποι κάνουν πλάκες, ανάβουν φωτιές, βλέπουν ταινίες με σχετική θεματολογία ή επισκέπτονται "στοιχειωμένα" αξιοθέατα.<ref name="Fieldhouse2017p256">{{cite book|title=Food, Feasts, and Faith: An Encyclopedia of Food Culture in World Religions|author=Paul Fieldhouse|publisher=[[ABC-CLIO]]|isbn=978-1-61069-412-4|date=17 April 2017|page=256|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P-FqDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA256}}</ref>

Για κάποιους ανθρώπους, το Χάλογουιν έχει θρησκευτική σημασία. Μεταξύ άλλων, κάποιοι συμμετέχουν σε λειτουργίες και ανάβουν κεριά στα μνήματα των συγγενών τους,<ref name="Skog2008">{{cite book|title=Teens in Finland|first=Jason|last=Skog|publisher=Capstone|isbn=978-0-7565-3405-9|year=2008|page=31|quote=Most funerals are Lutheran, and nearly 98 percent of all funerals take place in a church. It is customary to take pictures of funerals or even videotape them. To Finns, death is a part of the cycle of life, and a funeral is another special occasion worth remembering. In fact, during All Hallow's Eve and Christmas Eve, cemeteries are known as ''valomeri'', or seas of light. Finns visit cemeteries and light candles in remembrance of the deceased.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://chapel.duke.edu/sites/default/files/AllHallows2012.pdf|title=All Hallows Eve Service|date=31 October 2012|publisher=[[Duke University]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005183350/https://chapel.duke.edu/sites/default/files/AllHallows2012.pdf|archive-date=5 October 2013|url-status=dead|quote=About All Hallows Eve: Tonight is the eve of All Saints Day, the festival in the Church that recalls the faith and witness of the men and women who have come before us.
