Las brujas despiertan

(Cuento halloween para niños)La tan esperada noche de brujas por fin había llegado , los niños se disponían a salir por sus dulces para luego reunirse a contar cuentos de terror. Pero esta vez algo especial sucedería.

En lugar de reunirse en el lugar habitual lo harían en el cementerio abandonado en las afueras del pueblo, todos estaban nerviosos pero trataban de ocultar su temor.

En el lugar la calma era tan profunda que imponía silencio. Los niños comenzaron a llegar y se sentaron formando una ronda alrededor de una lámpara que alumbraba sólo sus caras.

El mayor de ellos comenzó a contar la leyenda del cementerio:

... Se dice que en este lugar fueron sepultadas tres hechiceras y que a partir de ese momento todos los años en la noche de brujas sus almas se elevan de las tumbas para atormentar a aquellos que no creen en ellas...¿Pero... quién está haciendo ruidos? ¿Hay alguien escondido?

Todos se inquietaron , tal vez alguno de los niños mayores se había ocultado para atemorizarlos... Entonces se escucharon las doce campanadas de la iglesia repicando a la distancia...

¡Los niños se tomaron instintivamente de las manos!

¡La linterna cayó al suelo apagándose y el viento comenzó a soplar! ¡La luna se veía más grande y tenebrosa!¡Debemos regresar a nuestras casas esto ya ha dejado de ser gracioso! dijo uno de ellos, y seguidamente gritó... Cielos ¿qué es eso?

De las tumbas parecían salir flotando extrañas y fantasmales figuras, nunca habían visto nada semejante. Querían correr pero sus piernas estaban endurecidas por el temor.¡Una risa estremecedora sacudió el cementerio! ¡Por fin los pequeños lograron reaccionar y salieron corriendo de aquel espantoso lugar!

Cuando estuvieron a salvo en sus hogares prometieron no contar a nadie lo que habían visto, pero a partir de aquella noche jamás volvieron a burlarse de los que contaban historias sobre el cementerio abandonado.

outskirts of town, everyone was nervous but tried to hide his fear. place In the stillness was so profound that imposed silence. The children began to arrive and sat forming a circle around a lamp that illuminated their faces only. The biggest one started counting cemetery legend: ... It says here that three witches were buried and that from that moment every year on Halloween their souls rise from the graves to torment those who do not believe in them ... But ... who is making noise? Is there someone hiding? Everyone worried, maybe one of the older children had hidden to frighten ... Then they heard the twelve chimes of the church ringing in the distance ... The children were taken instinctively hands! lantern fell fading and the wind began to blow! The moon looked bigger and gloomy! must return to our homes it has ceased to be funny! said one of them, and then he cried ... Heavens what is that? seemed out of the tombs, ghostly figures floating strange, never

seen anything like it. They wanted to run but his legs were stiff with fear. chilling laughter shook the cemetery! Finally managed to react small and ran out of that dreadful place! When they were safely in their homes promised not to tell anyone what they had seen, but from that night ever again mock those who told stories about the cemetery abandound

HALLOWEEN….

HISTORIA DE HALLOWEEN (ingles,español)Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of NovemberHistory of nameThe term Halloween is shortened from All Hallows' Even (both "even" and "eve" are abbreviations of "evening", but "Halloween" gets its "n" from "even") as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", which is now also known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.

HistoryHalloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; from the Old Irish samain). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them

Halloween es una fiesta proveniente de la cultura céltica que se celebra principalmente en Estados

Unidos en la noche del día 31 de octubre. Los niños se disfrazan para la ocasión y pasean por las calles pidiendo dulces de puerta en puerta. Después de llamar a la puerta los niños pronuncian la frase "Truco o trato" o "Dulce o truco" (proveniente de la expresión inglesa "trick or treat"). Si los adultos les dan caramelos, dinero o cualquier otro tipo de recompensa, se interpreta que han aceptado el trato. Si por el contrario se niegan, los chicos les gastarán una pequeña broma, siendo la más común arrojar huevos o espuma de afeitar contra la puerta.

La palabra Halloween es una derivación de la expresión inglesa All Hallow's Eve (Víspera del Día de los Santos). Se celebraba en los países anglosajones, principalmente en Canadá, Estados Unidos, Irlanda y el Reino Unido. Pero actualmente se celebra en casi todos los países occidentales con mayor o menor presencia.

Sus orígenes se remontan a los celtas, y la fiesta fue exportada a los Estados Unidos por emigrantes sobre todo irlandeses en el siglo XIX,más o menos hacia 1846. La fuerza expansiva de la cultura de EE.UU. ha hecho que Halloween se haya popularizado también en otros países. El día de Halloween, en tiempos modernos se considera una fiesta estadounidense.

La historia del Halloween se remonta hace más de 2.500 años, cuando el año celta terminaba al final del verano, precisamente el día 31 de octubre de nuestro calendario. El ganado era llevado de los prados a los establos para el invierno. Ese último día, se suponía que los espíritus podían salir de los cementerios y apoderarse de los cuerpos de los vivos para resucitar. Para evitarlo, los poblados celtas ensuciaban las casas y las "decoraban" con huesos, calaveras y demás cosas desagradables, de forma que los muertos pasaran de largo asustados. De ahí viene la tradición de decorar con motivos siniestros las casas en la actual víspera de todos los santos y también los disfraces.
