Roots lay in the feast of Samhain（夏末节）， which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead. 凯尔特文化节 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 （安息）the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful（丰饶的）. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating. Children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means Jack of the lantern.（杰克的灯） The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween.
