More than 2,000 years ago, the European Christian Church designated November 1 as "the day of the saints of the world".
"Hallow" means saints. Legend has it that Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved the festival forward for a day, October 31, 500 B.C.
They think it's the official end of summer, the beginning of the New Year and the beginning of the harsh winter.
At that time, people believed that the dead soul of the deceased would return to their former residence on this day to find life on the living people, so as to regenerate, and this is the only hope that people can get regeneration after death.
The living are afraid of the soul of the dead to take life, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the soul of the dead can not find a living person, and dress themselves as ghosts to frighten away the soul of the dead.
Afterwards, they will rekindle the sparks and candles and start a new year's life.
两千多年前,欧洲的*教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日”。“Hallow”即圣徒之意。传说自公元前五百年,居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人(Celts)把这节日往前移了一天,即10月31日。
他们认为该日是夏天正式结束的日子,也就是新年伊始,严酷的冬天开始的一天。那时人们相信,故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵,借此再生,而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希望。
而活人则惧怕死人的魂灵来夺生,于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光,让死人的魂灵无法找到活人,又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人的魂灵吓走。之后,他们又会把火种、烛光重新燃起,开始新的一年的生活。

节日风俗:
万圣节前夜是一年中最“闹鬼”的时候,各种妖魔鬼怪、海盗、外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在*纪元以前,凯尔特人在夏末举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔鬼怪。
后来罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日融合了。在中世纪,人们穿上动物造型的服饰、戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管后来*教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动,早期的习俗还是保留下来了。
孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣夜舞会,这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、黑猫、鬼怪和尸骨,窗前和门口则吊着龇牙咧嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。

HALLOWEEN One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern. Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern." The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom. And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes. Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.热心网友 时间:2022-06-01 16:13
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".[1] The name of the festival historically kept by the Gaels and Celts in the British Isles is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".热心网友 时间:2022-06-01 18:04
In fact, as early centuries BC, Celtic (Celts, living in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, etc.) will be at the time of October 31, the celebration called "Samhain" festival. Because in the end of October, the boundaries between the world of the living with the dead world will become blurred, so the spirits of the dead can easily enter the world of the living, with the lunar month we opened the door ghost legends like.
On that day, everyone will be wearing fancy dress, outside the parade in the hope that the outside of the ghosts to scare.
