"Halloween Stories"

The origin of Halloween  

Halloween is the Western Ghost Festival, this day they dress up like ghosts and hold carnival parties everywhere.  

The word "Halloween" originated from the Catholic Church. All Hallows Day, or All Saint's Day, is a Catholic holiday celebrating All Saints.  

On Halloween, October 31 is the celts annual harvest festival, symbolizing the end of the year, and the beginning of a New Year.  

The night of October 31 was the most feared day of the year for the Celtic people, who believed that life was ruled by gods and that Samhain, the god of death, would return to earth with the dead people every year on October 31.

So every year on this day the Celts pay their respects to the Sun god, who allowed them to harvest their grain for the coming winter! However, it is also the night when evil spirits are most powerful. Legend has it that every year on this day, all the laws of time and space are invalid, making the two worlds merge. Therefore, it's our only chance to haunt the ghost and find a scapegoat.

At the terrifying hour of the night of October 31, the living Celts, in order to avoid the search for souls, would put out the fires in their homes for the evening party, creating a cold and spooky environment, and would deliberately dress themselves up in costumes made of animal heads or fur, and make terrible noises. Try to scare away the soul also let the soul can not distinguish who is alive, and can not find a substitute; After that night, the next day, Halloween, all was quiet again.

Witches, ghosts and bonfires  

According to ancient Greek mythology, on the night of the beginning of autumn, their great god of death, shaman, would summon all the ghosts of those who died that year, and the evil spirits would be punished by being reborn as animals. Like the Spring Festival why firecrackers, is to scare away the beast. The reason for the Halloween bonfires was to scare away the shaman's ghosts in the first place and to lure them back.  

Then, what can we do for Halloween?

Halloween Traditions  

Jack-o-lantern

The jack-o-lantern originated in ancient Ireland. Legend has it that a man named JACK was drunk and fond of practical jokes. One day JACK tricked the devil into a tree, and then carved a cross on the stump to frighten the devil so that he did not dare to come down. Then JACK made three rules with the devil, so that the devil promised to cast magic so that JACK would never commit a crime on the condition that he let the tree. After JACK died, his soul could neither go to heaven nor hell, so his spirit had to rely on a small candle to guide him to wander between heaven and earth. Not only can pumpkins be made into lamps, they can also be extracted, pumpkin extract (pumpkin powder).

In old Irish legend, the little candle was held inside a hollowed-out turnip called "JACK LANTERNS," and the old turnip LANTERNS became jack-o-lanterns. It is said that soon after the Irish arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were better than turnips in origin and carving, so pumpkins became a favorite for Halloween.
