万圣节英文介绍简单篇1Halloween is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.All Hallows Eve is the evening before All Saints Day, which was created by Christians to convert pagans, and is celebrated on November 1st. The Catholic church honored saints on this designated day.万圣节英文介绍简单篇2While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Halloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streetsand villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.万圣节英文介绍简单篇3Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.万圣节英文介绍简单篇4It is hit by in the children eye , Halloween is a festival being full of the mysterious color.

It’s on Oct.31st.It’s a happy time for children because at night they put on the masks to attend the party.After the party, they knock at someone’s door and say: “trick or tread”.It means if you don’t give me the candies, I will play trick on you! At last kids can get enough candies for one year.万圣节英文介绍简单篇6Days and days past, I’m not a child any longer. But I still remember that Halloween, 31st October 2001. That was Saturday.I went to study English with an American girl named Debby as usual. We had 5 students altogether. Before that week, Debby had already told us to learn something about Halloween ourselves. On that day, Debby spent an hour describing this American festival for u s, such as “trick or cheat”, pumpkin and even, she took a pumpkin with her. First she took out a finished pumpkin lantern.That was really beautiful and ugly, we liked it so much. Then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. We each held a small knife, learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. Finally, we made it and put a short candle into it. That was truly happy. And the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student. Who will that be?My god! That was me! Do you know how excited I was then?I held it, jumping and shouting. That was the most unforgettable day to me. And I will not forget it, never!万圣节英文介绍简单篇7Every autumn,when the vegetables are ready to eat,children pick large orange pumpkins.Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin!These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns,which means "Jack of the lantern".The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters.Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house.Every time they e to a new house,they say,"Trick or treat!Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.万圣节英文介绍简单篇8Halloween means Hallows' Evening.It is the evening before All Hallows' Day (now called All Saints'Day) ,a Christian holiday,celebrated on the November 1st.History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics.The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish,Welsh and Scottish people.In the 5th century BC,in Celtic Ireland,summer officially ended on October 31st.On the November 1st,Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year.Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October 31st,and then the spirits of the died would come back and move freely looking for living bodies to possess.万圣节英文介绍简单篇9Halloween is a spooky and scary night.People dress up in the Hallween.Some people buy pumpkin and carve it into a jack-o-lantern.A jack-o-lantern is a pumpkin with a face.This is how you make a jack-o-lantern:you buy a pumpkin,take it home,carve the pumpkin and give it a spooky,happy,scary face.A warty witch can fly on her fast and speeding broom in the sky.She can be wearing black pants and a black robe.If you see one ,she mignt be carrying a black cat to give bad luck.A spooky,scary,and white ghost can go through walls and could control people.You might see one in the grave yard.Be careful because it will frighten you.You might become one of them!The black cat can give bad luck when it crosses your path. 万圣节英文介绍简单篇10Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.Today's Halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. We avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. This idea has its roots in the Middle Ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. We try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. This superstition may have come from the ancient Egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. And around Halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors,stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.But what about the Halloween traditions and beliefs that today's trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? Many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead. In particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday--with luck, by next Halloween!--be married.In 18th-century Ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on Halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. In Scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. The nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girl's future husband. (In some versions of this legend, confusingly, the opposite was true: The nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.) Another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on Halloween night, she would dream about her future husband. Young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands' initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water; and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands' faces.Other rituals were more competitive. At some Halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry; at others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.Of course, whether we're asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these Halloween superstitions relies on the good will of the very same "spirits" whose presence the early Celts felt so keenly. Ours is not such a different holiday after all!万圣节英文介绍简单篇11lanterns, vampires and haunted houses. But do you know the origin of Halloween? Why does it fall on 31 October? What kind of festival is it? Why is it so creepy?Halloween dates back to a Celtic festival called Samhain. November 1 is the new year of the Celts, who lived in Europe more than a thousand years ago. This is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. The Celts celebrated Samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires. Many Celts settled in Britain and Ireland, where the festival became popular. Those who moved to America took the tradition with them.Nowadays, most people celebrate Halloween but only for fun. They are not worried about ghosts. Kids in America will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "Trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets. Americans spend more money on Halloween than Christmas! In 2005, more than HK$45 billion was spent on Halloween. And HK$15 billion of that was spent on candy aloneKids in Britain also dress up at Halloween. They visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. Many go to Halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". You must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. Try it!万圣节英文介绍简单篇12Halloween always falls on 31 October. It is a holiday for children. On that day, children always wear fancy clothes and masks. And then, they go from house to house to say "Trick or Treat", so that people will treat them with candies. If they don’t receive any candies, they'll play a trick on people.But sometimes if the people are going out, when the children come, they'll put the candies in a carved pumpkin lanterns. Children will take the candies themselves. All of the children enjoy this holiday very much.万圣节英文介绍简单篇13It is hit by in the children eye , is is a festival being full of the mysterious color.

So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forevercarrying a lantern.Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween. They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead.Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well. Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future. During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats. Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise. All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the othertraditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser. He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul. T o scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"万圣节英文介绍简单篇15Halloween means Hallows' Evening.It is the evening before All Hallows' Day(now called All Saints'Day),a Christian holiday,celebrated on the November 1st.History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics.The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish,Welsh and Scottish people.In the 5th century BC,in Celtic Ireland,summer officially ended on October 31st.On the November 1st,Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year.Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October 31st,and then the spirits of the died would e back and move freely looking for livingbodies to possess.。

万圣节的介绍资料英文版Halloween: A Celebration of Mystery and MerrimentIntroduction:As the air turns crisp and the leaves transform into shades of golden amber, there is an unmistakable sense of anticipation in the air. Children excitedly prepare their costumes, while adults adorn their homes with spooky decorations. It can only mean one thing - Halloween is just around the corner. Celebrated on the 31st of October each year, Halloween has evolved from its ancient origins into a beloved festival of fun, mystery, and merriment. In this article, we will delve into the history, traditions, and global significance of Halloween, providing an insight into this enigmatic holiday.History and Origins:Halloween's origins can be traced back 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark winter months, was believed to be a time when the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. It was thought that on the night of October 31st, spirits and ghosts would roam the earth, causing mischief and wreaking havoc. To ward off these mischievous spirits, the Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes made from animal skins.Christian Influence:With the spread of Christianity in the Middle Ages, the Celtic festival of Samhain merged with the Christian holiday of All Saints' Day, also knownas All Hallows' Day. The night before All Hallows' Day became known as All Hallows' Eve, eventually shortened to Halloween. As the centuries passed, Halloween evolved into a secular celebration, with various customs and traditions from different cultures blending together.Traditions and Customs:One of the most iconic symbols of Halloween is the jack-o'-lantern. Originally, turnips or potatoes were carved into intricate designs and placed by doorways to ward off evil spirits. However, when Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America, they discovered that pumpkins were more readily available and easier to carve. Thus, the jack-o'-lantern as we know it today was born.Trick-or-Treating, another popular Halloween tradition, has its roots in a practice called "souling." During the Middle Ages, poor children would go door-to-door on All Hallows' Eve, offering to pray for the souls of the homeowners' deceased loved ones in exchange for food. This practice gradually transformed into the modern tradition we know today, with children dressing up in costumes and receiving candy instead.Global Significance:Although Halloween originated in Celtic lands, it has spread far and wide, transcending borders and cultures. In recent decades, it has gained popularity across the globe, particularly in North America, Europe, and some parts of Asia. Its commercialization and adaptation in popular culture, with movies and television shows showcasing Halloween-themed episodes, have contributed to its widespread appeal.In Conclusion:Halloween, with its deep historical roots and diverse traditions, continues to captivate both young and old alike. From its ancient Celtic origins to its present-day celebration as a global holiday, Halloween remains a celebration of mystery, merriment, and the colorful interplay between the living and the spirit world. So, this October 31st, don your favorite costume, carve a pumpkin, and join in the festivities as we celebrate this enchanting holiday.。

Usually one person talks in a low voice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire. The following is a retellingof a tale told in Britain and in North Carolina and Virginia.【英国“鬼村”取消万圣节】Pluckley residents are fed up of being invaded by hundreds of ghost-hunting revellers, causing vandalismand traffic chaos.The village is said to have at least 12 spectres, including a highwayman, a phantommonk, the hanging body of a schoolmaster and a poltergeistin the local pub.In previous years residents of the sedate Kent hamlet have tried to turn the night of expected disturbance into family fun, set up by the parish council's own Halloween mittee.But although the festivities raised thousands of pounds for good causes the uproar caused by hundreds of revellers flocking to the village has alarmed locals.Now Halloween has been banned and the parish council has called in police to keep visitors under control.“There will be no entertainment provided for visitors," said a notice on the Parish Council website."There will be no barbecue, no hog roast, no beer tent, no fun fairand there will be no ghost tours. In fact, unless you are ing for a quiet drink, may we suggest you visit one of the many other attractions in Kent for Halloween."Parish council clerk Jackie Grebby said previous organised events had caused problems."When we've tried to lay onsomething before it has backfired. The whole village has been gridlocked," she said."There is in fact very little to do in Pluckley apart from have a quiet drink. People are very e if they just want to e for a quiet drink."Residents have been advised to keep their gates locked and any outside lights turned on until at least 2am in the morning to deter troublemakers.【万圣节英语故事:黑猫倍受冷落】An image of a black cat. Halloween is a bad time of year for black cats, with their long-standing connections with witches, hubble-bubble and evil.Halloween is a bad time of year for black cats, with their long-standing connections with witches, hubble-bubbleand evil.Reports of deliberate cruelty to black cats rise especially in the weeks around Halloween in Britain, the RSPCA animal charity said on Wednesday.But it seems that not only do people treat black cats badly in October __ they shunthem for the rest of the year too.Black cats at animal shelters take longer than others to find homes, probably because of all the superstitions surrounding them, the charity said."Unfortunately, black cats often do spend longer in our rehoming centres than others as they are frequently overlooked by potential owners," said shelter manager Beverly Leavy."But their fur color makes no difference to how much love they have to give," she added. "The cats are ready to make wonderful pets."The image problem varies from country to country and often involves black cats crossing people's paths.Historians differ about the origins of the superstitions.Some point to the ancient Celts, some to folkloretales that liken cats to snakes and cast them as the constant panions of witches, others to a Medieval belief that they caused the black plaguein Europe.The view that they bring bad luck has also woven its way into art and popular culture.American writer of macabretales, Edgar Alan Poe, published a short story "The Black Cat" in 1843 and in the late 19th century a shady cabaretcalled Le Chat Noir ed guests in the BohemianMontmartre district of Paris.The RSPCA is appealing for potential owners to e forward for the black cats in its shelters.万圣节的英语资料2【The Origin of Halloween万圣节来历】Halloween is a popular festival in many countries all over the world, and every year it seems to get bigger.Its getting dark earlier and its starting to get cold. Christmas is stilla long way away.We need something to cheer us up and take our minds of the fact that winter is nearly here. See how much you know about the traditional festival of Halloween.The origins of the nameThe festival of Halloween has its roots in Celtic and Roman traditions. Over 2,000 years ago the Celts in Britain, Ireland and parts of France celebrated Samhain to mark the beginning of winter. When the Romans invaded, they merged this with Feralia, their celebration of the passing of the dead.As Christianity spread, the Church tried to replace these pagan feasts with official Church holy days. One of these was November 1.It was called “All Hallows”, and October 31 was known as“All Hallows Eve”, and then Halloween.Halloween traditionsIn the past there was a tradition call ed “souling”. Poor people went around houses asking for food. In exchange, they promised to say prayers for the dead.People no longer go souling, but the habit has beentransformed into a modern Halloween game for children in America,who dress up as ghosts, witches and monsters and go around peopleshouses.WitchesHalloween wouldnt be fun without witches.

万圣节的资料英语万圣夜(Halloween)(又叫鬼节,万圣节前夜)在每年的10月31日,是英语世界流行的节日,在这里,给大家准备了万圣节的英语资料,一起来看看吧!Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which monly includes activities such astrick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by DanielMaclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name 'Halloween' and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fullerAll-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena m?ssed?g, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.As European immigrants came to America, they brought their varied Halloween customs with them. Because of the rigid Protestant belief systems that characterized early New England, celebration of Halloween in colonial times was extremely limited there.It was much more mon in Maryland and the southern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups, as well as the American Indians, meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge.The first celebrations included "play parties," public events held to celebrate the harvest, where neighbors would share stories of the dead, tell each other's fortunes, dance, and sing. Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-makingof all kinds. By the middle of the nieenth century, annual autumn festivities were mon, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country.In the second half of the nieenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants,especially the millions of Irish fleeing Ireland's potato famine of 1846, helped to popularize the celebration ofHalloween nationally. Taking from Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today's "trick-or-treat" tradition. Young women believed that, on Halloween, they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings, or mirrors.In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more about munity and neighborly get-togethers, than about ghosts, pranks, and witchcraft.At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most mon way to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of the season, and festive costumes.Parents were encouraged by newspapers and munity leaders to take anything "frightening" or "grotesque" out of Halloween celebrations. Because of their efforts, Halloween lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones by the beginning of the twentieth century.By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had bee a secular, but munity-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and munities, vandalism began to plague Halloween celebrations in many munities during this time.By the 1950s, town leaders had suessfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily aommodated.Between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire munity to share the Halloween celebration.In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighborhood children with small treats. A new American tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6.9 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country's second largest mercial holiday.。

万圣节英文介绍及翻译Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in many countries on October 31st, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It is a time when people dress up in costumes, attend parties, go trick-or-treating, visit haunted attractions, carve pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, and watch horror films.

Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular holiday that is celebrated with a mix of traditional and modern customs.One of the most iconic symbols of Halloween is theJack-o'-lantern, a carved pumpkin with a candle inside. The tradition of carving pumpkins originated from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack, who tricked the Devil and was cursed to roam the earth with only a burning coal inside a turnip.

The practice can be traced back to the medieval custom of "souling," where poor people would go from house to house asking for food in exchange for prayers for the dead. Over time, the tradition evolved intochildren asking for treats, with the threat of tricks if they were refused. Today, trick-or-treating is a fun and festive activity that brings communities together and allows children to indulge in sweet treats while showingoff their creative costumes.Halloween parties are another popular way to celebrate the holiday, with people of all ages coming together to enjoy food, drinks, games, and music. Costumes are a key component of Halloween parties, with guests often competingfor the best and most creative outfit. Some popular costume themes include classic monsters like vampires and werewolves, pop culture icons, superheroes, and historical figures. In addition to costumes, Halloween parties often feature spooky decorations, such as cobwebs, bats, and fake blood, to create a festive and eerie atmosphere.Haunted attractions are a thrilling way to experience the spooky spirit of Halloween, with haunted houses, hayrides, corn mazes, and theme parks offering scares and thrills for those brave enough to enter. These attractions often feature actors in costume, special effects, and jump scares to create a sense of terror and suspense.

关于万圣节英语资料「集锦」Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween. They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could municate with the spirits of the dead.Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well. Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future. During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats. Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise. All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has bee the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died,because he was a miser. He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul. To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"万圣节前夜起源于与邪恶幽灵相关的庆祝活动。
