since the 800's november 1st is a religious holiday known as all saints'ay(万圣节)。 the mass that was said on thisay was called allhallowmas. the evening before became known as all hakkiw e'en, or halloween. like some other american celebrations, its origins lie in both p-christian and christian customs.

october 31 st was the eve of the celtic(凯尔特人的)new year. the celts were the ancestors of the psent-day irish, welsh and scottish people. on thisay ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the celts thought. the townspeople baked food all thatay and when night fell theyressed up and tried to resemble the souls of theead. hoping that the ghosts would le***e peacefully before midnight of the new year.

much later, when christianity spad throughout ireland and october 31 was no longer the lastay of the year, halloween became a celebration mostly for children. “ghosts” went fromoor tooor asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. when millions of irish people immigrated to the united states in the 1840s the tradition came with them.

today' schoolances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old alike. more and more adults celebrate halloween. theyress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化妆舞会)。 in larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children.teenagers enjoy costumeances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!

certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. but partying and pranks are not the only things that halloweeners enjoyoing. some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.
