关于万圣节的介绍及起源还有习俗,要英文版的.谢谢亲们了!

The origin of halloween dates back 2000 years ago to the Celtic celebration of the dead . A Celtic festivai was held on November 1, the first day of the Celtic New Year,honoring the Shaman ,the Lord of the dead.Celtic ritual believed that the souis of the dead returned on the evening before November.

The celebration included burning sacrifices and costtumes.These early events began as both a celebration of the harvest and an honoring of dead ancestors.

The custom of halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their country's potato famine.At that time, the favourite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2,All Souis Day, early Christians would walk from village ti village begging for ''soui cakes'',
