萬聖節的由來英文版 萬聖節的來歷英文版介紹

1、正文

More than two thousand years ago, the Christian Church in Europe set November 1 as the day of saints in the world. Hallow means saint. It is said that Celtic people living in Ireland, Scotland and other places have moved the festival forward one day since 500 BC, that is, October 31.

They think its the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of new year and the beginning of severe winter. At that time, it was believed that the dead soul of the old man would return to his former residence on this day to search for the living spirit in the living man, so as to regenerate, and this was the only hope that the man could obtain regeneration after death.

The living people are afraid of the souls of the dead to seize life, so people put out the fire and candle light on this day, so that the souls of the dead can not find the living people, and they dress up as ghosts to scare the souls of the dead away. After that, they will light up the fire and candles again and start a new years life.

兩千多年前，歐洲的基督教會把11月1日定爲“天下聖徒之日”。“Hallow”即聖徒之意。傳說自公元前五百年，居住在愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭等地的凱爾特人把這節日往前移了一天，即10月31日。

他們認爲該日是夏天正式結束的日子，也就是新年伊始，嚴酷的冬天開始的一天。那時人們相信，故人的亡魂會在這一天回到故居地在活人身上找尋生靈，藉此再生，而且這是人在死後能獲得再生的唯一希望。

而活人則懼怕死人的魂靈來奪生，於是人們就在這一天熄掉爐火、燭光，讓死人的魂靈無法找到活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人的魂靈嚇走。之後，他們又會把火種、燭光重新燃起，開始新的一年的生活。
