【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 s celebrated on November 1st of every year. This date marked the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter.
This time of year was often associated with human death
The Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred as the dead searched for the afterlife.
Thus, on the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth to cause trouble.
To memorate the event, people built huge sacred bonfires where animals and crops were sacrificed to the Gods for protection, and to help scare ghosts away. The Celts also wore costumes to disguise themselves, in an attempt to confuse the spirits roaming the Earth.
By the . 800’s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands.
Pope Boniface IV designated November 1st
All Saints Day, a time to honor Saints and Martyrs. It was known as All Hallowmas. Thus, October 31st became known as All Hallows Eve, and eventually was shortened to the current day title,
Halloween.
在2000多年前的愛(ài)爾蘭地區(qū)及法國(guó)北部，住著一群凱爾特人，而萬(wàn)圣節(jié)就是起源于古塞爾特人的一個(gè)叫做Samhain的節(jié)慶 。
凱爾特人選在每年11月1日慶祝新年，正值夏天結(jié)束，冬天剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)節(jié)多半讓人聯(lián)想到黑暗的死亡。
凱爾特人相信在新年的前一晚，陰間和陽(yáng)間的大門不再門禁森嚴(yán)，此時(shí)陰間的鬼魂會(huì)趁機(jī)跑出來(lái)，為陽(yáng)間的人們帶來(lái)厄運(yùn)。所以，在十月三十一日晚上，凱爾特人會(huì)慶祝Samhain這個(gè)節(jié)日，以趨魔避邪。
凱爾特人借著神圣的營(yíng)火，燃燒獻(xiàn)祭的動(dòng)物和尸體，以趕走可怕的鬼魂并祈求神的保護(hù)。同時(shí)，凱爾特人也會(huì)假扮成鬼的樣子，企圖混淆跑到陽(yáng)間的鬼魂 。
西元八百年時(shí)，基督教傳入塞爾特人居住的區(qū)域。當(dāng)時(shí)的教宗明訂十一月一日為萬(wàn)聖節(jié)All Saints Day，又稱 All Hallowmas，來(lái)紀(jì)念所有的聖人和騎士。因此，十月三十一日就成了萬(wàn)聖節(jié)前夕，英文稱之All Hallows Eve，而後來(lái)人們便簡(jiǎn)稱十月三十一日為Halloween
Even later, in . 1000, the Christian church made November 2nd All Soul’s Day, a day to honor the dead.
It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils.
Together, the three celebrations, All Hallows Eve, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, were called Hallowmas.
公元一千年左右，基督教訂定十一月二日為All Souls’ Day ( 萬(wàn)靈節(jié) )來(lái)紀(jì)念所有的死去的靈魂。借著大型營(yíng)火，游行和變裝打扮成圣人，天使或惡靈的方式來(lái)慶祝。綜合這三個(gè)節(jié)日All Hallows Eve (萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夕)，All Saints’ Day (萬(wàn)圣節(jié)) 和 All Souls’ Day (萬(wàn)靈節(jié))，就叫做Hallowmas.
Halloween arrived in North America courtesy of Irish and Scottish emigrants who brought stories of Samhain and Hallowmas, as well as tales of ghosts and spirits with them
in the 1840’s, during the Irish Potato Famine. The holiday flourished into what is now modern day Halloween.
1840年代，愛(ài)爾蘭區(qū)發(fā)生了饑荒，一些愛(ài)爾蘭及蘇格蘭人移民到北美洲，也把這些習(xí)俗和鬼故事帶到了北美洲，漸漸地，北美洲人也開(kāi)始慶祝Halloween(萬(wàn)圣節(jié))。 Many of the traditions assoc
