Dia das Bruxas
(Halloween). Halloween is celebrated on the night of 31 October. The word ‘halloween’ is a shortening of All Hallow’s Evening. Halloween is thought to have its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was a celebration of the end of the harvest season. The ancient Celtics thought that on 31 October, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped, and the dead would come back to life and create some havoc such as sickness or damaged crops. Bonfires were ignited in order to attract insects, which in turn attract bats to the area. Masks and costumes had the function to mimic or calm down the evil spirits. Migrants brought Halloween to the United States, where it had become very popular. The increased American influence in recent years resulted in an increased popularity of Halloween all over the world.

Dia do Saci-Pererê
(Saci-Pererê, Brazilian folkloric figure). In order to decrease the popularity of American-style Halloween, the Brazilian government introduced the day of Saci Pererê, a Brazilian folkloric figure, on 31 October, by law (Lei 2479/2003). The history of Saci-Pererê may have its origin in Southern Brazil, near the borders with Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Saci-Pererê was originally a naughty indian boy, who knew the forest very well. In these stories he was two-legged. In the 17th century, the story of Saci was gradually spread over the Brazilian colony. His image also was gradually changed. When Brazilian slaves adopted the story about Saci, they modified him in an adult black man, wearing a red hat and smoking a pipe. The red hat may refer to the European culture, as a symbol of liberty. He had lost a leg during a capoeira fight. Another version tells that ‘he preferred to have one leg as a free man to two legs as a slave’. Saci became one of the figures in some books of Monteiro Lobato, which greatly increased his popularity. Curiously, Saci is the mascot of soccer Club Internacional from Porto Alegre.

In 1906, Alberto made his memorable flight with the motorized 14Bis. Controversy still exists who made the first motorized flight in history : Alberto Santos Dumont or the Wright brothers.
