Halloween, called "Dia das bruxas" in Brazil, is a party with dark themes and celebrated annually on October 31. The origin of the Halloween party has a great trajectory, since it has been practiced, for more than 3 thousand years. It arose with the Celts, people who were polytheists and believed in several gods related to animals and the forces of nature.

The Celts celebrated the Samhain festival, which lasted for 3 days, starting on October 31st. In it, in addition to celebrating the end of summer, the celebration of the Celtic year, which began on November 1, was celebrated.

Chinese New Year

Unlike the Western calendar, which is organized by the Earth's translation movement and therefore the year has 365 days, the Chinese calendar is lunissolar, that is, it is organized according to the phases of the Moon and the position of the Sun.

For this reason, there is no fixed date for the beginning of the Chinese year; its beginning takes place between January 21 and February 20, due to the emergence of the first new moon.

For civilian purposes, the Chinese use the Gregorian calendar, used in most of the world, and the Chinese calendar marks the important festivities and dates.

The festivity that marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year in the Chinese calendar is called the Spring Festival, the most important celebration of the calendar, which lasts 15 days and closes with the famous Lantern Festival.
