万圣节邀请函图片素材【最新5篇】

On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes(节日服装)knock on their neighbors’ doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.

Since the 800’s November 1st is a religious holiday known as All Saints’ Day(万圣节). The Mass that was said on this day was called Allhallowmas. The evening before became known as All Hakkiw e’en, or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs.

October 31 st was the eve of the Celtic(凯尔特人的)new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year.

Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31 was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. "Ghosts" went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them.

Today’ school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to mmasquerade parties(化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children.

Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!

Certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.

Symbols of Halloween

Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins(小精灵)and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In the weeks before October 31, Americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes(轮廓)of witches and black cats.

Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o’lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy(吝啬的)that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser(吝啬鬼). He couldn’t enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day(审判日). The Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips(芜菁根), beets(甜菜根)or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o’lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o’-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies(糖果)waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"

[关于万圣节的英语作文素材

快了，再有1天就是万圣节了。

虽然这个节日在中国并不流行，不过依然是属于10月份的一个节日，而且，只要万圣节一到，就代表10月份要结束了，11月份要开始了，期中考试要降临了，我们也离寒假不远了。没想到吧?一个万圣节竟然有这么多意义。

10月31日，外国的学生在挨家挨户的索取糖果，那充满稚气和成熟的一声“chickorcheat。”是多么的令人向往，然而当他们在欢笑的时候，我们却闷在书堆里埋头苦干，为即将来临的期中考试作准备。这真是，很大的差别啊。心里总有那么一点点地不公平，毕竟我们还没有成年，看见别人在玩总会心里不平衡。

据说，万圣节晚上，小孩要穿着妖魔鬼怪的服装四处敲门要糖果，以此赶走企图入侵的幽灵魔鬼，保护全家人的平安，现在，已变成了一种节日的游戏。这么说来，驱鬼倒是跟中国的孩子有点相似，我们也要驱走妖怪，这个妖怪就是考试。只不过方式上有所不同，人家是要糖果，甜滋滋的赶走鬼怪，我估计还巴不得再来几只;我们呢，是靠啃书，把书里面啃不完的东西一股脑背熟，然后向“试卷鬼”发起大幅度的进攻。

取得的成绩是好是坏，只在一击之差。

哎，万圣节，借我一点力量，把试卷打败吧。

妈妈公司有一个万圣节活动，规定先到达的员工可以拿到一只万圣节南瓜，妈妈抢到了一个南瓜。

“哈哈哈哈……”又到了一年一度的万圣节啦。万圣节当然要有糖果啦，我们的万圣节，糖糖拿过来。小队正在向我们的糖果进发。我们领导了任务卡，要向指定的商店讨糖果。
