万圣节由来
Halloween(万圣节) is on October 31, the evening dress is like a ghost, the more scary the better. Children are busy going door to door to be candy, saying "Trick or treat". But how did Halloween come？In fact, as early centuries BC(公元前), Celtic(凯尔特人) had a festival called"Samhain" on October 31. Because in the end of October, the dead world to the the living will open, so the ghosts can easily go into the world of the living. On that day, everyone will be wearing scary dress and go outside, in the hope that the ghosts will be scared to go back to the dead world.
As for pumpkins, long time ago there was a man named Jack, drunk all day long. One day probably drunk again, he prisoned Satan(魔鬼撒旦) on a tree. Jack said if Satan could promise that he would not go into hell after death, he would get Satan down, Satan agreed. However, he did not enter hell, but he also could not enter heaven, but to keep traveling in the dark world. Satan made him a turnip light, and let him in the darkness of the world can be found in the road. This light is called Jack-o-Light. When the festival went to the United States. People found it easier to make the light with pumpkins, so turnip lights becomes pumpkin lights.
