The Origin of Halloween 萬圣節來歷

Halloween roots lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which was celebrated in what is now Great Britain on a full moon around November 1st. Later the Roman Catholic Church named this day as All Saints Day, formerly known as All Hallowmas. All Saints Day is known in England as All Hallows' Day. The evening before All Saints' Day is All Hallows' Eve, the origin of the American word Halloween.

萬圣節起源于古代凱爾特人的薩溫節(Samhain)，生活在英倫列島的賽爾特人把11月1日左近的一個月圓日定為節日。后來羅馬天主教會把這一天命名為萬圣節，在英國被稱為All Hallows Day(萬圣節)。那么萬圣“Hallow”加上前夜“een”就成為了Halloween這個美式表達。所以嚴格的說Halloween指的是萬圣節前夜。

In Britain Halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October. However, it is not a public holiday. If the 31st of October falls on a weekday people go to work as normal. The typical colours of Halloween are orange and black, seen on items such as black vampires and pumpkin lanterns.

在英國人們的確是在10月31日這天慶祝萬圣節。不過它不是公共假日。如果10月31日趕上工作日，那么人們將正常上班。萬圣節的標志性色彩是橘黃和黑色，比如黑色吸血鬼和桔黃色南瓜燈等物品。
