In late October, Hang Ma Street (Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi ) becomes bustling with thousands of items for Halloween. Halloween, a Western holiday, is a day to pray for the souls of the deceased and takes place on the night of October 31st each year. On this day, parishioners often dress up as ghosts and goblins and go from village to village asking for crumbs of bread, symbolizing food to nourish the souls.
