万圣节前夜

１１月１日万圣节是西方社会的一个节日。它本来是个宗教节日，始于公元４世纪。１０月３１日万圣节前夜原是克尔特人的除夕夜。当时克尔特人中一些有权威的祭司们认为妖魔鬼怪会在新年之际降临人间，为了驱邪避害，他们佩戴可怕的面具来伪装自己使鬼怪把他们当成一伙的。一方面供奉美食款待它们，另一方面又点燃篝火驱赶它们。后来，这种做法逐渐改变为１０月３１日纪念亡灵返回家园的习俗。人们在那天还纪念所有出名和不出名的亡故圣者。有些人把万圣节称为鬼节就是因为西方社会在这天纪念亡灵。今天万圣节已演变成非宗教的民俗节日。在万圣节前夜，人们头戴怪异的面具，身穿艳丽而奇特的服装，手提雕刻成怪诞脸形并点燃蜡烛的南瓜灯笼，欢聚在大街小巷载歌载舞，有些地方还举行盛大的化装舞会。这一节日尤其吸引天真可爱的孩子们。他们化了装串门走户地祝福，索取糖果或其他礼物。万圣节前夜不失为西方人洋溢着欢乐气氛的一个节日。
