万圣节又叫诸圣节，在每一年的11月1日，是东方的传统节日；而万圣节前夜的10月31日是这个节日最繁华的时刻。在中文里，经常把万圣节前夜（Halloween）讹译为万圣节（All Saints' Day）。
万圣节由来英语
1.Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.
万圣节前夜是在10月31日庆祝的一个节日，按照传统，万圣节前夜的庆祝勾当从太阳落山入手下手。在好久从前，人们相信在万圣节前夜女巫集聚集在一块儿，鬼魂在到处游荡。目下当今，大少数人们再也不相信有鬼魂和女巫的存在了，但是他们仍然把这些作为万圣节前夜的一局部。
2.The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.
黑色和橙色仍然是万圣节前夜的一局部，黑色是夜晚的象征，而橙色代表着南瓜。南瓜灯是用雕琢成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的，带来一个不寒而栗的炽热面目面貌。
3.Dressing up in costumes is one of the most popular Halloween customs, especially among children. According to tradition, people would dress up in costumes wear special clothing, masks or disguises to frighten the spirits away.

棍骗或打击是当代万圣节的习俗。孩子们穿戴非凡的衣服走街串巷，讨取糖果和玩具之类的恩赐。假如他们得不就任何的恩赐，便可能会对屋主大搞开玩笑大概混闹了。
6.The tradition of the Jack o' Lantern comes from a folktale about a man named Jack who tricked the devil and had to wander the Earth with a lantern. The Jack o' Lantern is made by placing a candle inside a hollowed-out pumpkin, which is carved to look like a face.
南瓜灯的传统来自于一个官方传说。一个名叫Jack的人把玩簸弄了恶魔，之后就不能不提着一盏灯在地球上流浪。南瓜灯是用雕琢成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的。
万圣节最早的来历
The Celtic people, who lived more than 2000 years ago feared the evening of Oct. 31 more than any other day of the year. It was the eve of their festival of Samhain. Samhain was a joyful harvest festival that marked the death of the old year and the beginning of a new one. The day itself was a time for paying homage to the sun god Baal who had provided the people with the ripened grain for use in the upcoming winter. Come evening evil spirits were everywhere. Charms and spells were said to have more power on the eve of Samhain. Several rituals were performed by the Celtic priests, Druids, to appease the Lord of the Dead.
