Happy Halloween !

Halloween is All Saint’s Day, a feast days, is a traditional festival in western countries.

More than 2000 years ago, the Christian Church in Europe designated November 1 as “All Hallows’ day”. “Hallow” means saint. It is said that Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved the festival forward one day since 500 BC, that is, October 31.

They think it’s the official end of summer, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of a harsh winter. At that time, it was believed that the dead soul of the old man would return to his former place of residence on this day to seek living beings from living people, so as to regenerate, and this was the only hope that people could be reborn after death.

On the other hand, the living people are afraid that the souls of the dead will seize life. Therefore, people put out the fire and candle light on this day, so that the souls of the dead can not find the living people, and dress up as ghosts and ghosts to scare away the souls of the dead. After that, they will light the fire and candle light again and start a new year’s life.

Halloween is mainly popular in the English speaking world, such as the British Isles and North America, followed by Australia and New Zealand.

There are several things to eat on Halloween: pumpkin pie, apples, candy, and in some places, excellent beef and mutton will be prepared.
