Halloween: When is it, why it is celebrated, how and where is the celebration of the Witch Night in Buenos Aires

Halloween (a word in English that comes from a contraction of All Hallows' Eve, in Spanish: Víspera de Todos los Santos) is also known as Halloween or All Souls' Eve. It is a celebration whose origin is the Christianization of the end of summer festival of Celtic origin called Samhain. It is celebrated internationally on the night of October 31, on the eve of the Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day (November 1). Its meaning: the union or extreme closeness of the world of the living and the kingdom of the dead.

The thematic decoration is associated with the colors orange, black and purple and each activity is strongly linked to fantasy characters such as ghosts and witches, as well as the inevitable openwork pumpkins.
