A brief introduction to the origin of Halloween
1 Halloween is a Western Ghost Festival. For foreign countries, Halloween is like our Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, they will dress up like ghosts and hold carnival parties everywhere.

2. The word "Halloween" originated from the Catholic Church. Every year, 1 1 month 1 day is a Catholic holiday to celebrate all saints or AllSaintsDay.

3. On Halloween, the eve of October 31st every year is the annual harvest festival of Celts, symbolizing the end of a year and the beginning of a new year.

4. At that time, the Celtic people more than 2,000 years ago (that is, the present Scots, Irish people, etc.) were most afraid of the night of October 31, and they believed that the life of the world was dominated by gods, and Samhain, the god of death, would return to the world with the dead on the night of1October 3 1 day every year.

5. So on this day every year, the Celts express their respect to the sun god, because the sun god makes their grain harvest to cope with the coming winter! However, this night is also the most powerful day for evil spirits. According to legend, every year on this day, all the laws of time and space will fail, making the yin and yang worlds become one. Therefore, this is the only chance for wandering souls to find a scapegoat.

6. On the night of1October 3 1 day, the living Celts will put out the fire at home in order to avoid the search of the soul, create a cold and gloomy environment, and deliberately dress themselves up as ghosts with costumes made of animal heads or fur, making terrible noises in their mouths, in an attempt to scare away the soul and make it unclear who is alive. After this night, the next day is Halloween, and everything will be calm.
