The origin of Halloween (shorter 100 words)
1 More than two thousand years ago, Christian churches in Europe designated 1 1 month/day as "the day of all saints in the world" and "Hallow", which means saint. Legend has it that since 500 BC, Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved this festival forward by one day, that is,1October 3 1 day. They think that this day is the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the harsh winter. At that time, people believed that the dead soul of the deceased would return to the former residence on this day to look for living beings and regenerate.

2. Halloween was originally a festival to praise autumn, just like May Festival is to praise spring. Druid, a priest of ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which lasted for a whole day from midnight on 1 October 3 1 day to the next day 1 1 month1day.
