万圣节的资料用英语 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.

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.

Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. 关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱 尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂， 而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被 踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。 在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作 “杰克的灯笼” ，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点 上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种 灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯 笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼” ，缩写为 Ja
