When is Halloween in 2021?

Halloween 2021 Date: Sunday, November 1, 2021 September 16, Year of the Rat
Halloween is also called All Saints' Day, which means the Feast of All Saints. The night of Halloween is the most "haunted" night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival" in Western countries.
Later, manufacturers would launch the most popular character designs of the year, including masks and clothing, into the market every year in an effort to get more people involved in the craze for traditional Western festivals. Although it has a bit of a commercial color, people enjoy it.
Halloween was originally a festival to praise autumn, just like May Day is a festival to praise spring. It is a kind of beautiful wish and yearning for life. People in Western countries believe that on that night their great god of death, Saman, will summon all the ghosts of those who died that year, then light torches and watch over them strictly. This shows that people are full of awe of God and extremely disgusted with devil-like people.

What needs to be done on the day?

1. Knock on the door and ask for candy
Halloween night is the most "haunted" time of the year. The custom on that night is that children carry pumpkin lanterns, wear all kinds of costumes imitating monsters and go door to door and shout: "Trick or Treat!" (meaning "trick or treat!"). The host (who may also wear horror costumes) will give out some candy, chocolate or small gifts; if you don't give candy, the children will perform all kinds of pranks, such as dumping garbage into your house.
2. "Bite the Apple" Game
Another Halloween custom is the most popular "apple biting" game. During the game, people let apples float in a basin full of water, and then let the participants bite the apples with their mouths without using their hands. Whoever bites the apples first is the winner.
3. Fortune-telling game
In Ireland, there is a traditional divination game in which participants are blindfolded and have to choose one of several small plates on a table. If the plate they touch contains dirt, it means someone related to the participant will die in the coming year. If it contains water, it means they will travel far away. If it contains coins, it means they will get rich. If it contains beans, it means they will be poor, and so on. In 19th century Ireland, young girls would place slugs on a dish sprinkled with flour, and the trail of the slugs would resemble the girl's future husband.
4. Human and Ghost Carnival
New York City also holds a special parade on Halloween night, where a group of vampires, zombies, witches, Frankenstein and others appear together. Citizens are welcome to visit. There is no limit on age, gender, class or nationality. Even if you are a coward, you can join them and have a lively carnival of humans and ghosts. In fact, these ghosts are all played by people, so they are not scary. On the contrary, some of the little ghost faces are very cute, making people feel like they are participating in a large masquerade ball.
