Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Day or Halloween, is 1 1 month 1 day every year.

Nowadays, Halloween is widely celebrated all over the world, and people usually hold various activities, such as dressing up as various characters, digging jack-o-lanterns and attending parties.

In addition, Halloween (1October 3 1 day) is also a part of the celebration. People will start preparations in advance and set up a horrible atmosphere to welcome Halloween. However, the specific date of the event may be slightly different due to regions and traditions. In some places, Halloween celebrations may start at the beginning of 10 and last until 1 1 month/day.

Origin of name

More than two thousand years ago, the Catholic Church in Europe designated 1 1 month 1 day as "All Hallows'Day". "Hallow" means saint.

Legend has it that Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places believe that1October 3 1 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 on this day, the dead soul of the deceased would return to the former residence to look for living beings, so as to be reborn, and this was the only hope for people to be reborn after death.

The living are afraid of the spirits of the dead to seize life, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the spirits of the dead can't find the living, and they dress up as monsters to scare away the spirits of the dead. After that, they will rekindle the fire and candlelight and start a new year's life.
