What does Halloween mean?
Halloween means "Halloween". Halloween has become one of the most popular and popular festivals in a year, and many people celebrate it with great enthusiasm. Halloween is the night before 1 1 month 1 day, which is actually a festival to praise autumn, just as May Day is a festival to praise spring.

Many ethnic groups in the west have celebration parties on Halloween, which are also called "All Hallow E'en", "The Eve of All Hallows", "Hallows e 'en" or "The eve of All Saints'Day". In the end, the convention evolved into "Halloween", and the Chinese translation became Halloween night. In western countries, every year on1October 3 1 day, there is a "Halloween", which is interpreted as "The eve of All Saints'Day" in the dictionary and translated as "Halloween night" in Chinese. Halloween is a traditional festival in western countries. This night is the most "haunted" night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival". Chinese-speaking areas often mistake Halloween for Halloween. "Hallow" comes from Middle English halwen, which is very close to the etymology of holy. In some areas of Scotland and Canada, Halloween is still called "All Hallow Mas", which means a Mass to be held in memory of all saints.

Druid, a priest in ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which started at midnight after Halloween and lasted for a whole day until the next day 1 1 month/day. They think that on that night, their great god of death, Saman, will call all the ghosts of those who died that year, and these evil spirits will be punished by being born as animals. Of course, as long as the thought of this ghostly party was enough to make those simple-minded fools tremble with fear at that time. So they lit a bonfire and watched these evil spirits closely.

That's how the saying that Halloween is full of witches and ghosts began. Up to now, some people in some isolated areas of Europe still believe this is true. Now all over Europe, people regard Halloween as a good opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival just to praise Qiu Guang, but let it become a real "carnival". Facial makeup is one of the traditional Halloween programs.
