Halloween and Easter stuff?

Easter is a Christian religious festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Every year after the Spring Equinox, the first Sunday after the first full moon is Easter.

In the early years, there was a dispute over the date of Easter among the Christian churches, causing confusion. It was not until 325 AD that the clergy meeting decided that the entire church would celebrate Easter on one day.

There are many traditional celebrations for Easter, and eggs are the most typical symbol of Easter.

In ancient times, people often regarded eggs as a symbol of fertility and resurrection.

Because it breeds new life.

Later, Christians gave the egg a new meaning, believing it to be a symbol of the tomb of Jesus, from which the future life would break free.

People often dye eggs red during Easter to represent the blood shed by Jesus during his crucifixion and also to symbolize the joy after resurrection.

There is also an ancient custom of giving boiled eggs to street children to play games with.

They dropped Easter eggs from the hillside: whoever's egg breaks last wins.

All Easter eggs belong to him.

The White House in the United States also plays this game every year, which is just rolling eggs on the lawn.

The rabbit is also a symbol of Easter.

Because rabbits are highly reproductive, people also regard them as the performer of new life.

People often tell children vividly that Easter eggs are laid by rabbits, and put the eggs in the garden for the children to play egg hunting games.

Now every Easter.

Candy stores in the United States always sell Easter snacks and eggs made of chocolate.

These eggs are as small as eggs and as big as melons, and the children eat them with relish.

It is also a good gift for relatives and friends.

The traditional food of Easter is meat, mainly lamb and ham.

They all have certain meanings.

According to the Bible, God wanted to test Abraham and ask him to sacrifice his only son as a sacrifice.

Abraham did as he was told. When he raised his sword to kill and retreat, God ordered an angel to stop him.

At this time, Abraham happened to find a ram, so he took it and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

Therefore, using sheep to sacrifice is an old tradition during the festival.

The lamb symbolizes Jesus' sacrifice.

As for eating ham, it is said to be a British custom to show contempt for the Jewish rule that prohibits eating meat.

Later, this style was brought to the United States by British immigrants.

Regarding the origin of Halloween, the most legendary version believes that it originated from the ancient Western European countries before the birth of Christ, mainly including Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The ancient Western Europeans in these places were called Druids.

The Druids' New Year is on November 1st. On New Year's Eve, the Druids ask young people to gather in groups, wearing various weird masks and carrying carved carrot lanterns (pumpkin lanterns are a later custom in ancient Western Europe).

There were no pumpkins at first) and they wandered among the villages.

This was actually an autumn harvest celebration at that time; it is also said to be the "Ghost Festival". Legend has it that the souls of the people who died in that year would visit the world on the eve of Halloween. It is said that people should let the visiting ghosts see the perfect harvest and present it to the ghosts.

Give a hearty treat.

All bonfires and lights are there to scare away ghosts, but also to light the way for ghosts to guide them back.

In Central Europe in the Middle Ages, there was a history of Christianity destroying pagans.

However, the sacrificial celebrations before New Year's Eve have never really been eliminated, but appear in the form of witchcraft.

This is why our current Halloween still has traces of witches' brooms, black cats, spells and so on.

Halloween has been spread to this day and has completely lost its religious superstition. It has become a children's program and a masquerade party for young people.

The society has also been providing positive guidance for festival activities: adults are required to educate children not to do threatening pranks, and adults are also required to take their children out together (usually adults park their cars on the roadside, and children knock on the door to ask for sweets)

.

Adults should ask their children to only go to homes with festive decorations and lights at the door, otherwise they should not disturb them.

In addition, those who ask for sweets must stand at the gate and wait at all times, and are not allowed to enter the house. The sweets returned must be inspected by an adult before they are allowed to be eaten.

Families hosting children are also asked not to give home-made food or unpackaged food.

Holiday decorations in public places and around the home are voluntary.

Jack-o'-lanterns with ghost faces, black spiders with white webs, etc. are all festive decorations, and they are no longer scary and spooky.

Some female students will buy a pair of pumpkin or ghost skull earrings to wear at this time.

If any company's arrangements are too scary, they will be stopped by relevant parties, and the media will expose them and make the public blame them.

Halloween costumes are also versatile, not just big ghosts and little ghosts.

There are many channels out there teaching people how to make Halloween costumes.

For example, to make the simplest ghost costume, just put a white sheet on your head, and don't forget to button two holes for eyes; if you want to play a magician, wear black clothes, black pants, and a black top hat.

, and hid a stuffed bunny between the top hat and the top of the head as a spare; they also taught adults how to dress up their children as little angels, wearing white clothes and white pants, and how to tie a flashlight to their heads from behind; they also taught adults how to dress up their children as them

Of course, businessmen in the clothing and props industry have more to do.

In short, Halloween has become a very common seasonal festival for Westerners.

Many people see this as the end of autumn and the arrival of winter.

As soon as Halloween is over, people begin to look forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas and even New Year.
