Halloween栗精，為“All Hallows' Eve”的縮寫闯参，意為“萬圣節(jié)（諸圣節(jié) All Hallows' Day）的前夜”，萬圣節(jié)前夕悲立，萬圣夜鹿寨，華語地區(qū)常訛稱為萬圣節(jié)。其英語名稱中的“Hallow”源于中古英語的“halwen”级历，與“holy”詞源很接近，在蘇格蘭和加拿大的某些區(qū)域叭披，諸圣節(jié)仍然稱為“Allhallowmas”寥殖，意思是在紀(jì)念所有圣人（All Hallows）的那一天要舉行的彌撒（Mass）玩讳。
萬圣節(jié)通常與靈異的事物聯(lián)系起來。西洋傳統(tǒng)上認(rèn)為萬圣夜是鬼怪世界最接近人間的時(shí)間嚼贡，這傳說與東亞的中元節(jié)與盂蘭節(jié)以及日本的百鬼夜行類似熏纯。美國(guó)明尼蘇達(dá)州的阿諾卡（Anoka）號(hào)稱是“世界萬圣夜之都”，每年都舉行大型的巡游慶祝粤策。
萬圣節(jié)與圣誕節(jié)一樣都是來自于天主教對(duì)其它文化的節(jié)日的吸收和重新詮釋樟澜。萬圣夜起源于不列顛凱爾特人的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，11月1日是他們的新年叮盘，在10月的最后一天秩贰，他們相信這是夏天的終結(jié)，冬天的開始柔吼，這一天是一年的重要標(biāo)志毒费，是最重要的節(jié)日之一，被稱為“死人之日”愈魏，或者“鬼節(jié)”觅玻。這一天各種惡鬼出沒，死去人們的靈魂也會(huì)離開身體培漏，在世間游走溪厘，這一天的晚上也就格外危險(xiǎn)。為了嚇走邪惡的鬼魂牌柄，凱爾特人會(huì)戴上面具畸悬。

Halloween falls October thirty-first each year in Britain, North America and other parts of the world. Like many other holidays halloween has evolved and changed throughout history and its a mix of pagan and Christian tradition. Over 2,000 years ago, people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland and parts of northern France. November the first was their New Year's Day and they believe that the night before the New Year on October thirty-first was a time when the living and the dead came together. More than a thousand years ago, the christian church named November the first All Saints' Day, also called All Hallows. This was a holy day to honor the saints and other people who died for their religion. The night before all hallows was called Hallow's Eve.? Later the name was changed halloween. Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the Dead would visit the earth on Halloween they worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them, so on that night people wore costumes they look like ghosts or other evil creatures, they thought if they dress like that the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them. The tradition of halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the customs changed a little, for example on halloween in Europe some people would carry Landon's made from turnips, in America pumpkins were more common so people began putting candles inside them and using them as lanterns that is why you see jack-o'-lanterns today.? These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday, it is primarily a fun day for children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago, but instead of worrying about evil spirits they go from house to house asking for treats. They knock on the doors and say trick or treat. The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick-or-treater if they don't they may be on the receiving end of a prank.
