12、reats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, childrens cries of Trick or treat! are usually rewarded with candy.篇四halloweens origins date back to the ancient celtic festival of samhain (pronounced sow-in).the celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that
13、is now ireland, the united kingdom, and northern france, celebrated their new year on november 1. this day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. celts believed that on the night before the new y
14、ear, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. on the night of october 31, they celebrated samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. in addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, celts thought that the presence of the otherworl
15、dly spirits made it easier for the druids, or celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. for a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.to commemorate the event, druids built hu
16、ge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the celtic deities.during the celebration, the celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each others fortunes. when the celebration was over, they re-lit their he
17、arth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.by a.d. 43, romans had conquered the majority of celtic territory. in the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the celtic lands, two festivals of roman orig
18、in were combined with the traditional celtic celebration of samhain.the first was feralia, a day in late october when the romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. the second was a day to honor pomona, the roman goddess of fruit and trees. the symbol of pomona is the apple and the i
19、ncorporation of this celebration into samhain probably explains the tradition of bobbing for apples that is practiced today on halloween.by the 800s, the influence of christianity had spread into celtic lands. in the seventh century, pope boniface iv designated november 1 all saints day, a time to h
20、onor saints and martyrs. it is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. the celebration was also called all-hallows or all-hallowmas (from middle english alholowmesse meaning all saints day) and the n
21、ight before it, the night of samhain, began to be called all-hallows eve and, eventually, halloween. even later, in a.d. 1000, the church would make november 2 all souls day, a day to honor the dead. it was celebrated similarly to samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as s
22、aints, angels, and devils. together, the three celebrations, the eve of all saints, all saints, and all souls, were called hallowmas.篇五halloween 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 clos
23、e 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.todays halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and mal
24、evolent, 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 unde
25、r 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
26、 mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that todays 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 t
27、o 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
28、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 girls future husband. (in some versions of this
29、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 wome
30、n 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 lookin
31、g 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 were asking
32、 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!篇六when we think of halloween, we think of trick or
33、 treat, pumpkins, jack o lanterns, 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 eu
34、rope 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 set
35、tled 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 cal
36、ling trick or treat, playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets. americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in , more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!kids 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!
