The origin of Halloween should be translated into English.

More than 2000 years ago, the European Christian Church designated 1 1 month 1 day as "World Saints Day". ?

"Saint" means saint. Legend has it that Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved this festival forward by one day, 3 1. 500 BC 10.

They think this is the official end of summer, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the severe winter. ?

At that time, people believed that the dead would return to their former residence on this day, looking for life in the living, so as to regenerate, and this is the only hope that people can be regenerated after death.

Living people are afraid that the souls of the dead will take their lives, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the souls of the dead can't find the living people and dress themselves up as ghosts to scare away the souls of the dead. ?

After that, they will rekindle sparks and candles and start a new year's life.

Living people are afraid of the ghost of the dead to take life, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the ghost of the dead can't find the living people. They dress up as monsters to scare away the ghost of the dead. After that, they will rekindle bonfires and candlelight and start a new year's life.

Holiday customs:

Halloween is the most haunted time of the year, and all kinds of monsters, pirates, alien visitors and witches are out in succession. Before the Christian era, the Celts held a ceremony in late summer to thank God and the sun for their kindness. At that time, fortune tellers lit and practiced witchcraft to drive away monsters who were said to be wandering around.

Later, the harvest festival celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples merged with Celtic 10 and 3 1. In the Middle Ages, people put on costumes in the shape of animals and put on terrible masks to drive away ghosts in the dark. Although Christianity later replaced the religious activities of Celts and Romans, the early customs still existed.

Children wear all kinds of costumes and masks to attend the Halloween dance with a playful attitude. Witches, black cats, ghosts and bones are often hung on the walls around these dances, and grinning or disgusting pumpkin lanterns are hung on the windows and doors.
