万圣节前的恶作剧传统也被称为“魔鬼之夜”,经常因地而异。不同的人对它的起源有着不同的回答。有一些来源称,恶作剧原本是五一劳动节庆祝活动的一部分。但是萨温节,以及后来的万灵节,似乎就已经包含了善意的恶作剧。苏格兰和爱尔兰移民来到美国,他们也带来了在万圣节前夕庆祝“恶作剧之夜”的传统,这对于酷爱糖果的恶作剧者来说太棒了。
11. LIGHTING CANDLES AND BONFIRES
点燃蜡烛和篝火
These days, candles are more likely than towering traditional bonfires, but for much of the early history of Halloween, open flames were integral in lighting the way for souls seeking the afterlife.
如今,在万圣节庆祝活动中,人们更有可能点燃蜡烛而不是高耸的传统篝火。但在万圣节的早期历史中,明火在为寻求来世的灵魂照亮道路方面是不可或缺的。
12. EATING CANDY APPLES
吃糖苹果
People have been coating fruit in sugar syrups as a means of preservation for centuries. Since the development of the Roman festival of Pomona, the goddess often represented by and associated with apples, the fruit has had a place in harvest celebrations. But the first mention of candy apples being given out at Halloween didn’t occur until the 1950s.
几个世纪以来,人们一直将水果裹在糖浆中保存。随着罗马波莫纳节的发展,苹果经常作为女神波莫纳的代表,与之联系在一起,因此苹果在丰收庆典中也占有一席之地。但直到20世纪50年代,才首次提到在万圣节时赠送糖苹果。
