Happy Halloween 2013 google doodle

Google is celebrating Halloween with a new interactive Halloween witch doodle on its homepage.

Halloween or Hallowe’en also known as All Hallows’ Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It initiates the triduum of Hallowmas, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to
