Huh?loli?n (English. Halloween, All Hallows’ Eve or All Saints’ Eve)- modern holiday, dating back to the traditions of the ancient Celts of Ireland and Scotland, whose history began in the territory of modern Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Noted 31 October, on All Hallows' Eve. Halloween is traditionally celebrated in English-speaking countries, although it is not an official day off. Since the end of the 20th century, during the process of Americanization and globalization, the fashion for Halloween paraphernalia also arose in most non-English speaking countries of Europe and the CIS. Halloween is celebrated informally in some other countries, having close cultural ties to the US or UK, for example, in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, in a number of island countries in Oceania, recently - in Russia, St. Petersburg and other CIS countries.
