10月30日的万圣节即将来临,在此上海新东方优能中学为大家整理了这样一篇范文,请同学们阅读赏析,希望对大家的学习有所帮助。

Halloween is the direct descendent of the Celtic celebration of Samhain. Samhain was the introduction of the New Year and a time to celebrate the end of a successful year. Samhain marked the beginning of the winter, the time of year that is most associated with death. The Celts believed that the night before Samhain, the veil between the living and the dead became a little blurred. They thought that ghosts could return to the Earth and cause havoc by destroying crops, possessing people, and causing all over mischief. The Celts also believed that the presence of ghosts would help aid the Druids, their religious leaders, to make futuristic predictions regarding their culture. The Celts were entirely dependent upon the earth to provide for them and believed in a number of nature affiliated gods that they believed would protect them during the winter months.  During Samhain, the community would gather around the bomb fire and celebrate the year. They would wear costumes so that the spirits would mistake them as fellow spirits and would leave out food to appease the spirits.
