The origin of Halloween
According to legend, more than 2,000 years ago, the European Catholic Church designated 1 1 as "All Saints' Day in the World", but since 500 BC, Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places have advanced this festival by one day, namely 10 and 3 1. Because the Celtics believe that this day is the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the severe winter.
At that time, people believed that the soul of the deceased would return to the former residence on this day, looking for life among the living, so as to regenerate. The living are afraid of ghosts, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that ghosts can't find the living. They dress up as monsters to scare these ghosts away. This is why most westerners celebrate Halloween with strange costumes.
The origin of Halloween costumes
Halloween costumes originated from pranks, when adults take their children out together (usually adults drive to the side of the road and children say "trick or treat"). Adults ask children in advance that they can only go to houses with festive decorations and lights at the door, otherwise they are not allowed to disturb them. In addition, in the process of begging for sugar, you must always stand at the gate and wait, and you are not allowed to enter the house. Recycled sugar must also be examined by adults before it can be eaten. Families receiving children are also required not to provide homemade food or unpackaged food.
Halloween costumes are full of people, not just monotonous children in GREAT GHOST. Make the simplest ghost suit, cover your head with a white sheet, and dig two holes to leave your eyes; If you want to play a magician, put on black pants and a black hat, and hide a fluffy rabbit between the hat and the top of your head for later use; Children put on white clothes and trousers, then tie flashlights on their backs and dress up as little angels; There are also parents who dress their children up as their favorite anime images.
The origin of turning off the lights on Halloween in the south
The jack-o-lantern originated in ancient Ireland. Ghost fire man, likes pranks. One day, Jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and then carved a cross on the stump, threatening the devil not to come down. Then Jack made an agreement with the devil to let him come down from the tree on the condition that the devil promised to cast a spell so that Jack would never commit a crime. After Jack died, his soul could neither go to heaven nor go to hell, so his ghost had to wander between heaven and earth with a small candle.
In the ancient Irish legend, this small candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish, which was called "Jack's lantern", while the ancient radish lantern evolved to today, and it was made of pumpkin lantern. It is said that shortly after the Irish arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were better than radishes in origin and carving, so pumpkins became the darling of Halloween.
Custom of Halloween
1, trick or treat
Halloween is a mysterious festival in the eyes of children. As night falls, the children can't wait to put on colorful costumes, strange masks and a "Jack-o-lantern" and run out to play. "Jack-o 'lantern" looks very cute. The way is to hollow out the pumpkin, carve smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, and then put a candle in the pumpkin and light it, so that people can see this innocent smiling face from far away. After packing, groups of children dressed as monsters ran to the neighbor's door with "pumpkin lanterns" in their hands, threatening to shout "trick or treat" and "want money or eat" If adults don't give candy or change, those naughty children will do as they say: OK, I'll play a trick on you if you don't give it. Sometimes they soap other people's doorknobs and sometimes color other people's cats. These little pranks often make adults laugh and cry. Of course, most families are very happy to entertain these innocent little guests, so children are always full and have bulging pockets on Halloween.
Halloween is usually associated with supernatural things. Traditionally in Europe, Halloween is considered as the closest time to the world of ghosts and gods, similar to the Orchid Festival in China (that is, July and a half every year). The theme of Halloween is ghosts, scary people and things related to death, magic and monsters. Things usually associated with Halloween include ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats, black cats, owls, elves, zombies, skeletons and demons, as well as fictional characters such as vampires and Frankenstein. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Halloween "Ghost Festival".
