Custom of Halloween

1. Mask makeup

In ancient times, if there was a drought or other major disasters, people would wear ugly masks, because they were afraid of evil spirits wandering outside at night. If they had to go out at night, they would wear masks or decorate themselves with animal fur, hoping that evil spirits would not recognize them or be scared away by ugly masks.

Later, the religious meaning of fearing ghosts and gods gradually became thinner, and slowly children began to wear clothes of ghosts and elves, go out to scare their neighbors (trick or treat), and ask adults to treat them to candy.

2. pumpkin lantern

There is also the custom of carving jack-o-lanterns on Halloween, which is an interesting Irish folklore. It is said that there was an alcoholic named Jack. One day, he invited the evil spirits to drink with him, but after drinking, he had no money to pay the bill. He designed to make the evil spirits become six pennies to pay for the drinks, but instead of paying for them, Jack used a piece of silver paper to restrain the evil spirits from coming out.

The evil spirit begged Jack to let him out and promised not to frighten him or harass him, so Jack came out. On Halloween the next year, the evil spirit reached an agreement with Jack, promising not to harass him this year, but Jack died not long after. At this time, heaven refused to take him in, so Jack had to report to hell, but because the evil spirit had promised him not to harass him this year, he could not take him in.

You can't go to heaven or hell. What should Jack do? Moreover, the road was so dark that Jack couldn't find a way out. At this time, the evil spirit threw him a piece of red-hot coal so that he could see the road clearly in the dark hell. Jack put this small piece of charcoal ash in a vegetable head with many holes, so that it could burn for a long time.

According to this legend, Irish people later made their so-called "Jack-o 'lanterns" with vegetable heads. But when the immigrants arrived in the United States, they found that pumpkins in the New World were more common than vegetable heads, so they carved all kinds of faces with pumpkins instead, and then put candles in them.

When they meet, children dressed as ghosts and elves will send them out in the same way? Trick or treat? The threat, and the host naturally dare not neglect, bother to say? Please eat! Please eat! ?
