Halloween, originating from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. People believed that on October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred. They would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off evil spirits. Later, with the spread of Christianity, it evolved into All Hallows' Eve, the day before All Saints' Day. Today, Halloween is celebrated worldwide with activities like trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, and attending costume parties.
万圣节起源于古代凯尔特人的萨温节,标志着丰收季节的结束和冬季的开始。人们相信每年10月31日,生者与死者之间的界限会变得模糊。他们点燃篝火并穿上奇装异服以驱赶恶灵。后来,随着基督教的传播,它演变为万圣前夜,即诸圣节的前一天。如今,万圣节在全球范围内以讨糖、雕刻南瓜灯以及举办化装舞会等活动庆祝。
