The Origin of Halloween English Version (less than 80 words)

1, New Year's Eve (including Ireland and Wales) In ancient western European countries (including Ireland, Scotland and Wales), on New Year's Eve, the Celts (locals) asked young people to gather in teams, wear all kinds of strange masks and carry a good radish lamp (in ancient western Europe, there were no pumpkins at first) and walk in the village.

2. Halloween English is All Saints Day, also known as "all saints' gifts", which is one of the festivals of Catholicism and Orthodox Church and a traditional festival in western countries. Chinese-speaking areas often mistake Halloween for Halloween. "Hallow" comes from Middle English halwen, which is close to the etymology of holy. In some parts of Scotland and Canada, Halloween is still called "Halloween". On that day, a mass ceremony will be held to celebrate all the saints in heaven.

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.
