        Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands
of years. The holiday has had many influences from many cultures over the
centuries. From the Roman's Pomona Day, to the Celtic festival of Samhain, to
the Christian holidays of All Saints and All Souls Days. Hundreds of years ago
in what is now Great Britain and Northern France, lived the Celts (凯尔特人), who
worshipped (崇拜) nature and had many gods, with the sun god as their favorite.
They celebrated their New Year on November 1st which was made every year with a
festival and marked the end of the "season of the sun" and the beginning of "the
season of darkness and cold." On October 31st after the crops were all harvested
and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be
extinguished (消失). The Druids, the Celtic priests, would meet in the hilltop in
the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred). They would light new
fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. As they danced around the
fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin. When
the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each
family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. These fires
would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits. The November 1st festival
was called Samhain (pronounced "sow-en"). The festival would last for 3 days.
Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their
animals. This festival would become the first Halloween. The Celtics would carry
a lantern (灯笼) when they walked on the eve of October 31. These lanterns were
carved out of big turnips (大头菜) and the lights were believed to keep the evil
spirits away. Children would carve faces in the turnips. These carved turnips
were called "jack-o-lanterns.
