  Origin of Halloween (萬聖節起源)

The Celtic peoples lived over 2,000 years ago In the place that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Northern oween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).

For the Celtic peoples, the New Year was celebrated on November 1st of every year. This date marked the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter. And this time of year often associated with human death.

  【Some popular Halloween activities一些受歡迎的萬聖節活動】

  【Halloween parties萬聖節派對

Across the UK, people throw parties to celebrate Halloween. The biggest Halloween party has to be in Sheffield at the end of October.

A lot of people go there to experience Fright Night. Can you image a party with about 40,000 people?

There are activities for people of all ages: fancy dress catwalk, urban dance, a monster in a fountain and a zombie garden, as well as the traditional apple bobbing and a competition for the best pumpkin lantern.

  【Apple bobbing咬蘋果】

This is a fun and competitive game which is very traditional. What you do is to place lots of apples in a large tub or a bowl of water - not too cold or too hot.

This is because the participants or competitors have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands.

Sometimes the participants are blindfolded, just to make it even more challenging and fun.

  【Pumpkin lanterns南瓜燈】

Pumpkins are on salein shops and supermarkets from as early as the beginning of October.

By the last week of October you can see pumpkin lanterns everywhere in shop windows and in people's houses.

Although British people used to use potatoes and turnips, now they use pumpkins to make Jack-o-lanterns unique to the Halloween season.

The name“Jack-o-lantern"comes from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack who, because of his bad nature, was doomed to roam the earth without a resting place and with only his lit lantern to light the way in the darkness.

  【Trick or treating不給糖果就搗亂】

Children love this game! They dress up and then knock on the doors of people's houses in their neighbourhood asking for a ‘trick or treat’.

The neighbour gives them chocolates, sweets or money as a ‘treat’.

If there is no treat, the children play a trick on the neighbour, for example, they might throw soap at the window.

It only happens once a year so even the stingiest adultsmightgive something to the kids as a treat!
