万圣节俗中英介绍
the customs of halloween
halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of october 31 most notably by children dressing in costumes and going doortodoor collecting candy it is celebrated in much of the western world though most common in the united states puerto rico republic of ireland the united kingdom canada and with increasing popularity in australia and new zealand halloween originated in ireland as the pagan celtic harvest festival samhain irish scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to north america in the 19th century most other western countries have embraced halloween as a part of american pop culture in the late 20th century
the term halloween and its older spelling hallowe＇en is shortened from allhalloweven as it is the evening before all hallows day(also known as all saints＇ day) in ireland the name was all hallows eve and this name is still used by some older people halloween was also sometimes called all saints＇ eve the holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern european pagan traditions until it was appropriated by christian missionaries and given a christian interpretation in mexico november 1st and 2nd are celebrated as the dia de los muertos day of the dead halloween is also called pooky night in some parts of ireland presumably named after the púca a mischievous spirit in australia it is sometimes referred to as mischief night by locals
halloween is sometimes associated with the occult many european cultural traditions hold that halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when the spiritual world can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (eg catalan mythology about witches)
halloween is an annual celebration but just what is it actually a celebration of and how did this peculiar custom originate is it as some claim a kind of demon worship or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual
the word itself halloween actually has its origins in the catholic church it comes from a contracted corruption of all hallows eve november 1 all hollows day (or all saints day) is a catholic day of observance in honor of saints but in the 5th century bc in celtic ireland summer officially ended on october 31 the holiday was called samhain (sowen) the celtic new year
one story says that on that day the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year it was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife the celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living
naturally the stillliving did not want to be possessed so on the night of october 31 villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes to make them cold and undesirable they would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess
probably a better explanation of why the celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession but so that all the celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source the druidic fire that was kept burning in the middle of ireland at usinach
some accounts tell of how the celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed as sort of a lesson to the spirits other accounts of celtic history debunk these stories as myth the romans adopted the celtic practices as their own but in the first century ad samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other roman traditions that took place in october such as their day to honor pomona the roman goddess of fruit and trees the symbol of pomona is the apple which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on halloween
the thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized as belief in spirit possession waned the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins ghosts and witches took on a more ceremonial role the custom of halloween was brought to america in the 1840＇s by irish immigrants fleeing their country＇s potato famine at that time the favorite pranks in new england included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates
the custom of trickortreating is thought to have originated not with the irish celts but with a ninthcentury european custom called souling on november 2 all souls day early christians would walk from village to village begging for soul cakes made out of square pieces of bread with currants the more soul cakes the beggars would receive the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors at the time it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death and that prayer even by strangers could expedite a soul＇s passage to heaven
the jackolantern custom probably comes from irish folklore as the tale is told a man named jack who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster tricked satan into climbing a tree jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree＇s trunk trapping the devil up the tree jack made a deal with the devil that if he would never tempt him again he would promise to let him down the tree
according to the folk tale after jack died he was denied entrance to heaven because of his evil ways but he was also denied access to hell because he had tricked the devil instead the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness the ember was placed inside a hollowedout turnip to keep it glowing longer the irish used turnips as their jack＇s lanterns originally but when the immigrants came to america they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips so the jackolantern in america was a hollowedout pumpkin lit with an ember
so although some cults may have adopted halloween as their favorite holiday the day itself did not grow out of evil practices it grew out of the rituals of celts celebrating a new year and out of medieval prayer rituals of europeans and today even many churches have halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids after all the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it
