The origin of Halloween

Every year10,31is a traditional "ghost festival" in the west-Halloween. However, the atmosphere of this day is far less "creepy" than its name. Whenever Halloween comes, children can't wait to put on colorful costumes, put on strange masks and carry a "pumpkin lantern" to ask adults for holiday gifts everywhere. These are the most well-known symbols of Halloween-strange "jack-o'-lanterns" and "trick or treat" pranks.

The appearance of "pumpkin lantern" is very cute and the method is extremely simple. Hollow out the pumpkin, then carve smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, then put a candle in the pumpkin and light it, so that people can see this innocent smiling face from far away. This is the children's favorite toy.

However, the highlight of Halloween is still at the dinner table. You should not only prepare delicious food to entertain those "children" who make trouble, but also decorate your dining table on this special festival. Don't let your guests underestimate you!

On the most "haunted" night of the year, all kinds of monsters, pirates, alien visitors and witches are out in succession. Before the Christian era, the Celts held ceremonies in 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. Now, children wear all kinds of costumes and masks to attend Halloween dances. Witches, black cats, ghosts and paper-pasted bones are often hung on the walls around these dances, while grinning or ugly pumpkin lanterns are hung on the windows and doorways. Children often try to bite the hanging apples.
