关于万圣节的传说

  万圣节前夜就是“圣夜”的意思。而今天,万圣夜已经变成一年中最流行和最受欢迎的节日之一,许多玩家都以极大的热情来庆祝这一节日。

  万圣夜在10月31日的前一夜,其实是赞美秋天的节日,就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司——德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日,从万圣夜后午夜开始,直至次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为,在那天晚上他们伟大的死神——萨曼会把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来,这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然,只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会,就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心谅的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火,并严密监视这些恶鬼。

  万圣夜到处有女巫和鬼魂的说法就是这么开始的。至今在欧洲某些与世隔绝的地区还有人相信这是真的。

  如今在整个欧洲,人们都把万圣夜看作尽情玩闹、讲鬼故事和互相吓唬的好机会。于是人们不再把这节日仅仅用来赞美秋光,而是让它变成一场真正的“狂欢”。而脸谱化妆是万圣节传统节目之一。

  万圣节经常说的话:不给糖就捣蛋。
