Halloween is come!
To Everybody:Happy Halloween!
在众多西方国家,十月的尾声总会激荡起一阵诡异而又热烈的节日气氛,那就是传说中神秘莫测的万圣节。
万圣节究竟是哪一天?
万圣节究竟是一个怎样的节日?
Date of Halloween:10月31日 万圣节前夜
Date of All Saints’Day:11月1日 万圣节
万圣节All Saints’Day,又名All Hallows’Day,原本为一个肃穆而圣洁的宗教节日。亚洲人会把“万圣夜”误称为“万圣节”。
Day of Saints
两千多年前,欧洲基督教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日”,其实为一个充满宗教意味的神圣节日,体现了在基督教徒心中,人和神之间的一种关联。
All Saints’Dayis a religious day,presenting a holy connection between human and divinity.
Return of Death
那时的人坚信,已逝的亡灵会在这一天回归故土,在活人身上寻找灵魂,借此获得重生。活人惧怕死人灵魂来夺生,就把自己装扮成成妖魔鬼怪的样子,好把死人的灵魂都吓跑。
Peoplebelieved ghosts of the dead would come back for rebirth on this special day.
Celebration for Fun
随着世事变迁,万圣节似乎已然背离了神圣的主旨,也不在带有迷信的意味,褪去所有的枷锁,成为一场孩子与成年人都津津乐道的狂欢派对。
Now Halloween and All Saints’Day have become a big party and festivity of joy for no superstitious reason.
Trick or Treat
“不给糖,就捣蛋”
孩子们在万圣节喜爱的事情,就是穿着各色各样奇装异服,挨家挨户索要糖果。主人开门后,孩子们会不停地说“trick or treat”,意思是“我们捣蛋,还是,你们款待”。
