Halloween is a historic festival in the west. Two thousand years ago, the European Catholic Church to November 1st as ‘All Hallows Day’. The word Halloween is the meaning of the saints. Since BC 500 years, Celts lived in Ireland and Scotland. They think that October 31 is the official end of the summer day, that is the start of the harsh winter day.
At that time people believe that the souls of the enemy will return to their homes to find living creatures , and this is the only hope for them to get reborn after death. While the living people are afraid to fool around to seize their lives, so people put out the stove in this day, so that the soul can not find the living people. After that, they will rekindle the fire candle to start a new year of life.
