Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition。
Samhain節說明夏天結束或者十一月，是一個豐收的節日。在Samhain節會燃起神圣巨大的篝火，標志著凱爾特一年的結束和新一年的開始。一些做法因為迷信被加入慶祝活動中。
The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating。
凱爾特人相信死者的靈魂會在夜里出沒在街道和村莊 。因為他們認為不是所有的靈魂都是友善的，所以就把禮物和好吃的留在外面安慰惡靈來確保來年的莊稼可以豐收。這種習俗演變成了trick-or-treating。
