【万圣节的习俗】

Children in costumes race from hou to hou asking for treats.

A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o’-lantern, grins from a porch as the

children pass. According to legend, jack-o’-lanterns protect people in

their homes from ghostly spirits.

It’s all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween

stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from veral parts of

the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition,

Halloween begins after sunt. Long ago, people believed that witches

gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most

people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But the supernatural

beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black

is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side.

Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity.

Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witch’s pointy hat and

black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress

up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy

showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from hou to hou saying “Trick

or treat!” In the past, children might play a “trick” on people who

did not give treats. They might pelt hous with eggs or old tomatoes,

or play other pranks. Today, children’s cries of “Trick or treat!”

are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient

Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts

celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunt that day, people

believed that spirits of the dead would ri and walk the earth. The

Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many

Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained

strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman

conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with

All Saints’ Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All

Saints’ Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the

Church.

Halloween first came to America with early ttlers from Celtic

areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American

ttlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from

England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during

the 1800s helped spread Halloween’s popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient

superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for

children to receive treats and dress in costume.

【万圣节的来历】

Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday obrved on

October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating,

attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple

bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary

stories, and watching horror films.

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 eds, or in the

festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to

the Celtic festival of Samhain, who original spelling was Samuin

(pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".

The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's

end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel s apple bobbing and

divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, name

'Halloween' and many of its prent-day traditions derive from the Old

English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and

reprents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"),

that is, the night before All Hallows Day.

Although the phra All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra

hālgena m?sd?g, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itlf

not attested until 1556.
