Traditions of Halloween
Pumpkin Carving Carved pumpkins are traditionally known as ―Jack-o-lanterns.‖ Traditionally, the jack-o-lantern was carved from a turnip, potato, or beet and lit with a burning candle. These lanterns represented the souls of departed loved ones and were placed in windows or set on porches to welcome the deceased.
Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. It was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one.
Traditions of Halloween
Trick-or-treating The modern day custom of Trick-or-Treating originated from the very old custom of ―Going-a-souling‖ or begging for soul cakes. Soul cakes were baked goods offered to souls of the departed. Those not offering goods were usually punished with a trick on Halloween night or hexed with misfortune for the next year. • 不给糖就捣蛋的游戏起源于要灵魂饼干的习俗，灵魂饼干是 烤好的用于祭祀过世的人的饼干。 • 而穷人们对那些吝啬不给食物的人通常会以恶作剧来惩罚他 们，或是诅咒他们下一年都会厄运缠身。

Halloween is all about the costumes – heck(见鬼的), even Lady Liberty(自由女神) is dressing up – but keep the fun in the candy-filled holiday, not the offensive(进攻的). 一些人为感染埃博拉病毒的工人，更多的人为美国橄榄球联盟的 队员Ray Rice，还有一些人已经从悲剧新闻中恢复过来。万圣节全 是关于服装的——见鬼！连自由女神都装扮起来了！我们要在这个 充满糖果的节日里好好玩乐，而不是要去进攻。
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. 万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、 北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于萨温节的庆祝 活动，萨温节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。
凯尔特人借着神圣的营火，燃烧献祭的动物和尸体，以 赶走可怕的鬼魂并祈求神的保护。同时，凯尔特人也会 假扮成鬼的样子，企图混淆跑到阳间的鬼魂。
Even later, in A.D. 1000, the Christian church made November 2nd All Soul‘s Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, All Hallows Eve, All Saints‘ Day and All Souls‘ Day, were called Hallowmas. 公元一千年左右，基督教订定十一月二日为万灵节 ，来纪念所 有死去的灵魂。以大型营火，游行和变装打扮成圣人，天使或 恶灵的方式来庆祝。综合万圣节前夕、万圣节和 万灵节统称为 Hallowmas.
