1 / 3 Halloween万圣节英文故事
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 (sow-en),
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
