萬聖節手抄報資料內容大全

在西方國家,每年的十月三十一日,有個halloween,辭典解釋為 the eve of all saints'day”,中文譯作萬聖節之夜。關於萬聖節,人們或多或少都有了一定的感性認知知道萬聖節期間,許多公共場所乃至居家院落,都會布置上很多裝璜,諸如各式鬼怪 呀、南瓜燈呀、還有黑貓以及巫婆的掃帚之類;孩子們會穿上每年不一 樣的萬聖節服裝,拎著南瓜燈的提簍去挨家挨戶地討糖,說是trick or treak”。

除此之外,你還想多知道一點嗎?我們在此簡單介紹一下 萬聖節的由來與習俗。

一、萬聖節的由來 關於萬聖節由來的,傳說最多的版本認為,那是源於基督誕生前的古西歐國家,主要包括愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭和威爾斯。這幾處的古西歐人叫德魯伊特人。德魯伊特的新年在十一月一日,新年前夜,德魯伊特人讓年輕人集隊,戴著各種怪異面具,拎著刻好的蘿蔔燈(南瓜燈系後期習俗,古西歐最早沒有南瓜),他們遊走於村落間。這在當時實則為一種秋收的慶典;也有說是鬼節”,傳說當年死去的人,靈魂會在萬聖節的前夜造訪人世,據說人們應該讓造訪的鬼魂看到圓滿的收成並對鬼魂呈現出豐盛的款待。所有篝火及燈火,一來為了嚇走鬼魂,同時也為鬼魂照亮路線,引導其回歸。 在中世紀的中歐,曾有過基督教摧毀異教徒的歷史。可是新年夜前的祭祀慶典從未真正消除,不過以巫術的形式出現。這也就是為什麼我們現在的萬聖節里,還留有巫婆的掃帚、黑貓、咒語等痕跡。

二、halloween一詞的產生 很多民族都在萬聖節前夜有慶典聚會,這又被叫做all hallow e'en”、the eve of all hallows”、hallow e'en”,或者the eve of all saintas'day”。最終約定俗成演變成了halloween”,中文意譯成了萬聖節之夜。

三、trick or treat”的傳說 孩子們今天著裝挨家要糖的習俗,據說起源於愛爾蘭。古西歐時候的愛爾蘭異教徒們,相信在萬聖節前夜鬼魂會群集於居家附近,並接受設宴款待。因而,在宴會”結束後,村民們就自己扮成鬼魂精靈,遊走村外,引導鬼魂離開,避邪免災。於此同時,村民們也都注意在屋前院後的擺布些水果及其他食品,餵足鬼魂而不至於讓它們傷害人類和動物或者掠奪其他收成◇來這習俗一直延續下來,就成了孩子們取笑不慷慨之家的玩笑。

 

Halloween一詞的產生:

很多民族都在萬聖節前夜有慶典聚會,這又被叫做“All Hallow E'en”、“The Eve of All Hallows”、“Hallow e'en”,或者“The eve of All Saintas'Day”。最終約定俗成演變成了“Halloween”,中文意譯成了萬聖節之夜。
由來
兩千多年前,歐洲的天主教會把11月1日定為“天下聖徒之日” (ALL HALLOWS DAY) 。“HALLOW” 即聖徒之意。傳說自公元前五百年,居住在愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭等地的凱爾特人 (CELTS) 把這節日往前移了一天,即10月31日。他們認為該日是夏天正式結束的日子,也就是新年伊始,嚴酷的冬季開始的一天。那時人們相信,故人的亡魂會在這一天回到故居地在活人身上找尋生靈,藉此再生,而且這是人在死後能獲得再生的唯一希望。而活著的人則懼怕死魂來奪生,於是人們就在這一天熄掉爐火、燭光,讓死魂無法找尋活人,又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂靈嚇走。之後,他們又會把火種燭光重新燃起,開始新的一年的生活。傳說那時凱爾特人部落還有在10月31日把活人殺死用以祭奠死人的習俗。
南瓜燈
南瓜雕空當燈籠的故事源於古代愛爾蘭。故事是說一個名叫 JACK 的人,是個醉漢且愛惡作劇。一天 JACK 把惡魔騙上了樹,隨即在樹樁上刻了個十字,恐嚇惡魔令他不敢下來,然後 JACK 就與惡魔約法三章,讓惡魔答應施法讓 JACK 永遠不會犯罪為條件讓他下樹。 JACK 死後,其靈魂卻既不能上天又不能下地獄,於是他的亡靈只好靠一根小蠟燭照著指引他在天地之間倘佯。在古老的愛爾蘭傳說里,這根小蠟燭是在一根挖空的蘿蔔里放著,稱作“JACK LANTERNS”,而古老的蘿蔔燈演變到今天,則是南瓜做的 Jack-O-Lantern 了。


HALLOWEEN

One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.


Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."
The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.


Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.

And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes.
Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady.
