万圣节的来历英语手抄报
圣夜(halloween)(又叫鬼节,万圣节前夜)在每年的10月31日,是英语世界的传统节日,主要流行于北美、不列颠群岛、澳大利亚、加拿大和新西兰。许多公共场所乃至居家院落,都会布置上很多装璜,诸如各式鬼怪 呀、南瓜灯呀、还有黑猫以及巫婆的扫帚之类;孩子们会穿上每年不一 样的万圣节服装,拎着南瓜灯的提篓去挨家挨户地讨糖,说是“不给糖就捣蛋(trick or treak)”
万圣夜在10月31日的前一夜,其实是赞美秋天的节日,就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司--德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日,从万圣夜后午夜开始,直至次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为,在那天晚上他们伟大的死神--萨曼会把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来,这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然,只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会,就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心谅的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火,并严密监视这些恶鬼。如今在整个欧洲,人们都把万圣夜看作尽情玩闹、讲鬼故事和互相吓唬的好机会。于是人们不再把这节日仅仅用来赞美秋光,而是让它变成一场真正的“狂欢”。而脸谱化妆是万圣节传统节目之一。
