At that time, the Celtics more than 2000 years ago were most afraid of the night of June at 3 1. They believe that life in the world is dominated by gods, and Samhain, the god of death, will return to the world with the dead on the night of June 365, 438+0 every year.
Therefore, on this day every year, the Celts pay their respects to the sun god, because the sun god makes their grain harvest to cope with the coming winter! However, this night is also the most powerful day for evil spirits. According to legend, on this day every year, all the laws of time and space will fail, making the yin and yang worlds merge into one. Therefore, this is the only chance for the wandering soul to find a scapegoat.
On the nights of 10, 3 1, the living Celts put out the fire in their homes to avoid the search of the soul, creating a cold and gloomy environment, and deliberately dressed themselves as ghosts with costumes made of animal heads or furs, making terrible noises in their mouths in an attempt to scare away the soul, making the soul confused about who is alive and unable to find the body body double; After this night, the next day is Halloween, and everything will be calm again.
