　　The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls" Day parades in England. During the festivities,poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family"s dead relatives.

　　The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice,which was referred to as "going a-souling" was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale,food,and money.

　　The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago,winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and,for the many people afraid of the dark,the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween,when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world,people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts,people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween,to keep ghosts away from their houses,people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

　　HOW HALLOWEEN GOT STARTED

　　One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday called Samhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

　　Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

　　The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

　　HOW DID HALLOWEEN COME TO AMERICA？

　　Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloweens popularity.

　　But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

　　万圣节英语作文篇27

　　When the harvest moon rises on October 31, little hobgoblins, spooky ghosts, ghoulish witches and gremlins — their young faces hidden behind grotesque masks — will go forth to frighten friends and neighbors and to threaten them with Trick or Treat .

　　Halloween (AII Hallows Eve) as the name implies, is a nighttime holiday, the one night in the year when the child‘s world turns to pure fantasy. Children take all the lead parts while parents and other adults play the supporting roles. Encouraged by teachers and merchants and the remembrance of the good time they had the earlier year, children (from 3 to 11 years old) start preparing their costumes and Halloween decorations weeks ahead. Although parents help the children very much prepare the costumes, on Halloween they must pretend to be frightened by the masked visions that suddenly appear. There will be little witches in long black dresses with tall-pointed hats and magic broomsticks to carry them over the rooftops — to a neighbor‘s house in the next block. Ghosts in sheets run with tell-tale sneakers and half socks showing; and terrible pirates with skull and cross-bones painted on their three-cornered hats. Some carry jack-o‘-lanterns but all carry bags or UNICEF boxes marked Trick or Treat, which fill up very fast.

　　Teenagers have their fun playing tricks that sometimes get rather rough. They throw eggs or tomatoes at passing motorists , mark up windows and windshields with hard-to-erase candle wax, roll pumpkins down long hills, carry away porch furniture and garbage can covers, engrave graffiti on fences, or do whatever bad things occur to them as they go around looking for ways to let off steam. Police officers are alert but they only arrest those caught doing real damage. In most communities there are school dances or block parties to help redirect the energies of the youthful pranksters. Business firms offer prizes for the best costumes and recreation directors help plan the party, but the young people themselves take charge of the entertainment and the decorations — a necessary part of Halloween. Dried corn stalks, pumpkin faces, and piles of apples create the harvest atmosphere; and cutouts of witches on their brooms, goblins, ghosts and black cats symbolize the witchcraft aspect of the holiday. The freshments — apple cider, popcorn and pumpkin pie, and witches made of spicy ginger cookies — also carry out both themes.

　　There is an occasional adult Halloween Dance in a bright orange and black setting, with paper-made black cats, witches and grinning skeletons floating above the dance floor. But Halloween has become mainly a young people‘s holiday — and the younger the child the more exciting he finds it.
