Brazil: Halloween

Although not a traditional Brazilian holiday, Halloween is increasingly celebrated here. Of course the primary influence for Halloween is North American, who themselves were influenced by their Celtic immigrants.

One place you‘re likely to see Halloween celebrated is at one of the many English schools around São Paulo. They can go to surprising amounts of effort, including outfit competitions, decorations (with the inevitable pumpkins, spiders webs and witches brooms), and trick and treat, albeit typically localised to classes in the school.

Children aren‘t the only ones to celebrate, and you are likely to see some bars and clubs, and even Bingo halls getting in on the Halloween action and being suitably decorated as well as running corresponding events.


in mexico we celebrate " el dia de los muertos" and in brazil people celebrate tha day "Todos los Santos."

October

 2 October of 1968 
On October 2, 1968 is a date that will not only in the memory of its characters, but now part of history, and not just Mexican. That day the student movement was suppressed in the most bloody, cruel and cynical as possible in the so-called Massacre of the Plaza de las 3 Cultures.


Halloween 
Halloween or Halloween is a holiday celebrated mainly in the U.S. on the night of October 31. It originated in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian feast of All Saints Day. In large part, is a secular celebration although some believe that has a religious undertone. Irish immigrants passed versions of the tradition to North America during the Great Irish Famine of 1840
