This evening has brought a few trick-or-treaters to our house, dressed in their creative attire. I didn't think that I would find much of a Halloween holiday in Pakistan, but I found that it is growing in popularity. I wanted to do some research about specific traditions, but in reality, Halloween in Pakistan is just like it is in the United States. Children dress in costumes (the typical ones: witches, pumpkins, ghosts) and go door to door, asking for candy.
There were multiple sites from Pakistan that showed how to carve a pumpkin, create costumes, or prepare pumpkin seeds, showing that this holiday is becoming more and more popular.
Here are some students dressed up in their spooky attire at a school in Islamabad. The students also sang Halloween-themed songs and told ghost stories to those who attended the party. Money raised at the party was sent to help flood victims in Pakistan.
Also in Islamabad, this photo was taken of a child dressed up for Halloween.
Thanks for reading!
Happy Halloween!
