  【万圣节的习俗】

  面具化装

  在古时候,如果有旱灾或是其它重大的灾难,人们便会带上丑陋的面具,因为他们害怕深夜还在外面游走的恶灵,如果晚上必须出门,便会戴上面具或用动物的皮毛装饰自己,希望恶灵认不出他们来,或被丑陋的面具吓走。

  后来敬畏鬼神的'宗教意味逐渐转薄,慢慢开始有小孩穿上鬼和精灵的衣服,出去吓邻居 trick or treat(不给糖,就捣蛋),要大人请吃糖果的趣味习俗。

  南瓜灯

  在万圣节还有雕刻南瓜灯的习俗,这是一则趣味的爱尔兰的民间传说。据说有一个名叫杰克的酒鬼,他有一天邀请恶灵来一起喝酒,但喝完后却没钱付账,他就设计要恶灵变成六便士 ( six pennies ) 来付酒钱,可是杰克又没拿它来付钱,反而用一条银纸镇住恶灵让它出不来。

  恶灵苦苦哀求杰克放他出来并答应不来吓他、骚扰他,于是杰克就它出来,到了第二年万圣节,恶灵又与杰克达成协议,答应这一年不会来骚扰杰克,但没过多久杰克就过世了,这时天堂拒绝收容他,杰克只好到地狱报到,可是因为恶灵已经答应他这一年不骚扰他,所以也无法收容杰克。

  天堂地狱都去不得,杰克怎么办呢?而且路实在是太黑了,杰克也找不出路离开,这时恶灵就丢给他一块已经烧得通红的煤炭让他在黑暗的地狱中比较能看清楚路,杰克将这小块媒炭灰烬放在一个打了许多洞的菜头当中,好让它烧久一点。

  根据这个传说,后来爱尔兰人就用菜头来制作他们所谓的"杰克灯笼"。但是当移民们到了美国之后,发现新大陆的南瓜比菜头普遍,于是改为用南瓜雕刻成各种鬼脸,然后在里面摆蜡烛了,这就是“南瓜灯”的由来。
