Halloween

Halloween, a holiday celebrated by the Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox Churches. In the Catholic and Anglican Churches, All Saints' Day falls on November 1 of each year. In the Orthodox Church, All Saints' Day is the first Sunday after Pentecost, thus marking the end of the Easter season.

In the early 1st century, the Catholic Church in Europe designated November 1 as "ALL HALLOWS DAY". "HALLOW" is the meaning of saints. Legend has it that the Celts, who inhabited Ireland and Scotland since 500 BC, moved the holiday forward by one day, to October 31st.

Glen and some regions of Canada, Halloween is still known as All Hallow Mas, which means the Mass to be celebrated in honor of all the saints (Hallow) on that day. Due to cultural differences, people in other regions will from time to time mistakenly refer to All Hallow's Eve as Halloween.

Unlike Christmas Day and Christmas Eve, there is no difference between Halloween and All Hallows' Eve. People often think of the western "All Hallows' Eve" as Halloween, because after 12 o'clock that night, it is the beginning of a new day.

Halloween

Lights are the most common element of Halloween, the story of the pumpkin carving as a lantern. This again originates from ancient Ireland. The story is about a man named Jack who was a drunkard and loved to play pranks. One day, Jack tricked the devil into coming down from a tree and carved a cross on the stump to scare the devil into coming down. Jack then made a pact with the devil and made the devil promise to cast a spell so that Jack would never commit a crime as a condition for him to come down from the tree. After his death, Jack's soul can neither go to heaven nor to hell, so his spirit has to rely on a small candle to guide him between heaven and earth.

In the old Irish legend, this small candle is in a hollowed out turnip put, called "Jack LANTERNS", and the old turnip lamp evolved to today, is a pumpkin made Jack-O-Lantern. It is said that the Irish came to the United States soon, that is, found that the pumpkin from the source and carving are better than turnips, so the pumpkin became a Halloween pet.

Question 6: What kind of holiday is Halloween? Introduction to Halloween

On October 31st of each year, Halloween is the traditional western "ghost festival" - Halloween. October 31st is the eve of Halloween. October 31 is the eve of Halloween, often called the night before Halloween. However, the atmosphere of this day is far from being as "creepy" as its name makes it sound. When Halloween comes around, children can't wait to dress up in colorful costumes, wear strange masks, and carry a jack-o'-lantern around the house, asking adults for gifts. The most widely recognized symbols of Halloween are these two - the strange jack-o'-lantern and the trick-or-treating.

Jack-o'-lanterns are adorable and extremely simple to make. The pumpkin is hollowed out and carved with smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, and then a candle is inserted into the pumpkin and lit, so that the smiling face can be seen from far away. This is the children's favorite plaything.

However, the main event of Halloween is still on the table, you have to prepare the food to entertain those who come to trick or treat, but also to dress up your table for this special holiday. Don't let your guests underestimate you!

The most haunted night of the year is filled with demons, pirates, extraterrestrials, and witches. Before the Christian era, the Celts held ceremonies at the end of the summer to thank God and the sun for their bounty. Soothsayers of the time lit and practiced witchcraft to ward off the demons and monsters that were said to be roaming around. Later the Roman harvest festival, celebrated with nuts and apples, merged with the Celtic October 31st. In the Middle Ages, people dressed up in animal-shaped costumes and scary masks to ward off the ghosts and goblins of the night on Halloween Eve. Although Christianity later replaced Celtic and Roman religious practices, the early customs have survived. Nowadays, children wear costumes and masks as a joke to Halloween dances, which are often surrounded by papier-maché witches, black cats, ghosts, and skeletons hanging on the walls, as well as pumpkin lanterns in front of windows and doorways that show off their teeth or have a repulsive face. Children often try to bite into hanging apples.

Question 7: Halloween is what holiday, Halloween festivities in the Americas In Western countries, October 31 every year, there is a "Halloween", the dictionary explains as "The eve of All Saints' Day The dictionary explains "The eve of All Saints' Day", Chinese translation: "Halloween night". Halloween is a traditional holiday in Western countries. It is the most haunted night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival".

The origin of Halloween:

More than two thousand years ago, the Catholic Church in Europe designated November 1 as "the day of the world's saints" (ALL HALLOWS DAY). "HALLOW" means saints. Legend has it that since 500 B.C., the Celts, who lived in Ireland and Scotland, moved the holiday forward one day, to October 31st. They believed that this day is the official end of summer, that is, the beginning of the New Year, the beginning of the harsh winter. At that time it was believed that the spirits of the deceased would return to their homes on this day to find life in the living and thus be reborn, and that this was the only hope for rebirth after death. The living are afraid that the dead souls will come to take over their lives, so people extinguish the fire and candles on this day so that the dead souls can't find the living, and they dress up as demons to scare the dead souls away. Afterward, they would rekindle the fires and candles to start the new year. Legend has it that the Celtic tribes also had the custom of killing the living on October 31st to honor the dead.

By the 1st century AD, the Romans, who occupied the territory of the Celtic tribes, also gradually accepted the custom of Halloween, but then abolished the barbaric practice of burning the living and sacrificing the dead. While the Romans celebrated harvest festivals in conjunction with Celtic rituals, wearing scary masks and dressing up as animals or ghosts, it was a way to chase away the demons that roamed around them. This is how Halloween came to be celebrated today by most people around the globe in a ghoulish getup. As time passed, the meaning of Halloween gradually changed, becoming more positive and happy, with festive connotations dominating. The idea of dead souls looking for replacements to return to the world was gradually discarded and forgotten. To this day, most of the images and drawings symbolizing Halloween, such as witches and black cats, have friendly, cute and funny faces.

Question 8: What kind of holiday is Halloween October 31 is Halloween, the English dictionary interpretation of this word is "The eve of All Saints' Day", the Chinese translation of the " Halloween Night", which Chinese Americans simply call "Ghost Festival". Today, starting at 7 pm, in Manhattan, Sixth Avenue will hold a powerful ghost festival ***, which is New York City's largest "ghost festival" activities, is like "ghost" people can not help but see a program.

In fact, Halloween can not be said to be only ghosts as the content of the holiday, now has become a very common seasonal holiday in the West. Many people see Halloween as the end of fall and the arrival of winter. Once Halloween is over, the major holidays of the Western world, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even New Year's, will follow.

For those of you who live in New York City, this year's Halloween is a time when many public spaces, shopping malls, and homes in New York City are decked out with new and unusual decorations, including ghosts and ghouls, pumpkin lamps, black cats, and witches' brooms, some of them "scary," and some of them fun. Tonight, children dress up in Halloween costumes and go door-to-door begging for candy, carrying baskets of pumpkin lights and mouthing the phrase "trick or treat". This is a phenomenon that everyone can see. But when it comes to the origin of Halloween and why pumpkin lights are used and why "trick or treat" is said, I'm afraid many people don't know much about it.
