While most modern people are not afraid of ghosts, on Halloween, the stingy have something to fear, as some people go through with the trick and throw eggs at stingy peoples homes. 万圣节像今天这样有趣，是因为异教徒没有听从教会。他们在万圣节继续沿用许多缩温节的仪式，有些仪式现在仍然存在。例如，不给糖就捣蛋这个习俗，来源于异教徒相信鬼魂会在每年降临人间的时候给活着的人制造麻烦。为了保护自己不被恶灵伤害，人们穿上看起来像鬼的衣服，并且准备面包、鸡蛋、苹果等食物当供品以求好运。人们戴着面具，穿着迷惑鬼魂的鬼服，挨家挨户收供品。慷慨的人点起灯火，受到良好祝愿，但吝啬的人却受到威胁。 这个习俗延续至今，成千上万的儿童穿戴起来，逐户敲门要求款待。然而大多数现代人并不怕鬼，在万圣节，当小气的人看见有人拿着家伙经过，并朝小气的人的家里丢鸡蛋的时候，不免会有些提心吊胆。 It may surprise you to learn that Halloween got its name because the Catholic Ch
