And most civilizations, from ancient to modern, have devoted a special holiday to honoring the dead. Although many of these holidays have assumed a secular attitude, the original, supernatural tone of these days still colors the celebrations. Halloween, or All Hallow's Eve as it was once known, has become a day for children to don costumes, trick-or-treat for candy, and play pranks. Outside the United States, however, people in many countries still set aside a day to honor and pray for the deceased. This book looks at the different holidays honoring the dead from around the world, including Halloween, All Souls' Day, Day of the Dead, Tomb Sweeping Day, and the Ghost Festival. 521 1 $a Age 12+ 521 2 $a Grade 7 to 8. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Death $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Halloween $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a All Souls' Day $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a All Saints' Day $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a History & Culture. $2 local 655 7 $a Children's Nonfiction. $2 local 800 1 $a Richardson, Betsy. $t Celebrating holidays & festivals around the world. 941 $a 2 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015022.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20181228010835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4234F1020A6E11E9A262A00797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
