Story about Halloween Legend 1:

Halloween is on October 31st, which is actually a festival to celebrate autumn, just as May Day is a festival to celebrate spring. Druid, a priest in ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which started at midnight on October 31st and lasted for a whole day on November 1st the next day. They think that on that night, their great god of death, Saman, called all the ghosts of those who died that year, and these evil spirits would be punished for being born as animals. Of course, as long as the thought of such a ghostly party was enough to make those simple-minded fools at that time tremble with fear and trust. So they lit a bonfire and watched these evil spirits closely.

That's how the saying that witches and ghosts are everywhere on Halloween begins. Up to now, some people in some isolated areas of Europe still believe this is true. The ancient Romans also had a festival on November 1, which was used to pay tribute to their goddess Pomona. They baked nuts and apples in front of Xiong Jin's bonfire. Our own Halloween seems to be a mixture of ancient Roman festivals and Druid festivals. The activities on Halloween turned out to be very simple, and most of them were held in the church. But all over Europe, people regard Halloween as a good opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival to praise Qiu Guang, but make it a festival for genies, witches and ghosts.

Legend 2 of Halloween:

The Celtic believed that the sun god helped them grow crops. However, every year, the sun god is attacked by an evil force named Samhain and imprisoned for six months. Samhain, there are two other titles, which are? LordofDead? And? PrinceofDarkness? He came to Celtic land with cold and dark winter. The Celts were very afraid of the night of October 31, because they felt that there were a bunch of evil souls lurking anywhere that night. They make a fire at home to let those evil spirits leave their home (there is a sentence in the last untranslated paragraph that flames can scare away ghosts). They believe that Samhain called the dead out, and they also believe that Samhain will turn the dead into something else, like a cat. The Celts will put on a terrible disguise to drive away those evil souls. (This is the prototype of Halloween) After Rome occupied the land of the Celts, the Roman festival was combined with the Samhain Festival of the Celts on October 31, and it became the present Halloween.

Halloween food 1. Pumpkin Pie

Apart from pumpkin lanterns, of course, pumpkins are indispensable. From late autumn to early winter in the United States, pumpkin pie is often eaten by every household. Before and after Halloween, lovely pumpkins have become a festive food. Dried pumpkin seeds are also a must-eat snack on Halloween.

2. Candy

Want to play? Trick or treat? How can the game not have all kinds of delicious candy? Candy is also one of the appropriate foods for Halloween. On Halloween, candy sold in shops has various ghost shapes, and candy packaged in orange, brown or black, which is common on Halloween, is very popular among children.

3. Hot apples hit the west

This is a drink made by heating cider and adding cinnamon, clove and sugar, which is very popular in Europe and America in winter. The practice of hot red wine is quite similar, that is, replacing cider with red wine. Sour and sweet hot drinks will help you drive away the cold in winter and make you warm and particularly happy.
