History of Halloween in Albania and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
In Albania, Halloween is known as “Përzimmi i Vdekurve”, which translates to “All Souls’ Day”. It is a day when people remember and honor their deceased loved ones. Families visit the graves of their relatives, and bring flowers and food to share with the spirits of the dead. It is believed that on this day, the dead can return to the world of the living, so people are careful to be respectful and not to upset them. Trick-or-treating is not a common tradition, but some children may dress up in costumes and go door-to-door asking for candy.
