萬(wàn)圣節(jié)手抄報(bào)2

　　Halloween一詞的產(chǎn)生：

　　很多民族都在萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夜有慶典聚會(huì)，這又被叫做“All Hallow E'en”、“The Eve of All Hallows”、“Hallow e'en”，或者“The eve of All Saintas'Day”。最終約定俗成演變成了“Halloween”，中文意譯成了萬(wàn)圣節(jié)之夜。

　　由來(lái)

　　兩千多年前，歐洲的天主教會(huì)把 11月1日定為“天下圣徒之日” (ALL HALLOWS DAY) 。“HALLOW” 即圣徒之意。傳說(shuō)自公元前五百年，居住在愛(ài)爾蘭、蘇格蘭等地的凱爾特人 (CELTS) 把這節(jié)日往前移了一天，即10月31日。他們認(rèn)為該日是夏天正式結(jié)束的日子，也就是新年伊始，嚴(yán)酷的冬季開始的一天。那時(shí)人們相信，故人的亡魂會(huì)在這一天回到故居地在活人身上找尋生靈，借此再生，而且這是人在死后能獲得再生的唯一希望。而活著的人則懼怕死魂來(lái)奪生，于是人們就在這一天熄掉爐火、燭光，讓死魂無(wú)法找尋活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂靈嚇走。之后，他們又會(huì)把火種燭光重新燃起，開始新的一年的生活。傳說(shuō)那時(shí)凱爾特人部落還有在10月 31日把活人殺死用以祭奠死人的習(xí)俗。

　　南瓜燈

　　南瓜雕空當(dāng)燈籠的故事源于古代愛(ài)爾蘭。故事是說(shuō)一個(gè)名叫 JACK 的人，是個(gè)醉漢且愛(ài)惡作劇。一天 JACK 把惡魔騙上了樹，隨即在樹樁上刻了個(gè)十字，恐嚇惡魔令他不敢下來(lái)，然后 JACK 就與惡魔約法三章，讓惡魔答應(yīng)施法讓 JACK 永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)犯罪為條件讓他下樹。 JACK 死后，其靈魂卻既不能上天又不能下地獄，于是他的亡靈只好靠一根小蠟燭照著指引他在天地之間倘佯。在古老的愛(ài)爾蘭傳說(shuō)里，這根小蠟燭是在一根挖空的蘿卜里放著，稱作“JACK LANTERNS”，而古老的蘿卜燈演變到今天，則是南瓜做的 Jack-O-Lantern 了。

　　HALLOWEEN

　　One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

　　Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

　　The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

　　Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.

　　And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes.

　　Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady.

　　Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.
