恶兆也是万圣节庆祝活动的一部分。人们相信恶兆会带给坏运气,黑猫、蜘蛛或者蝙蝠都算是恶兆。
万圣节(All Saints" Day)是西方传统节日,每年的10月30日被称为万圣节前夕。中国国内往往直接用“万圣节”指“万圣节前夜”,而用“万灵节”或“诸圣节”表示11月1日的All Saints" Day。当晚小孩会穿上化妆服,戴上面具,挨家挨户收集糖果。万圣节通常与灵异的事物联系起来。欧洲传统上认为万圣夜是鬼怪世界最接近人间的时间,这传说与东亚的中元节与盂兰节以及日本的"百鬼夜行类似。美国明尼苏达州的阿诺卡(Anoka)号称是“世界万圣夜之都”,每年都举行大型的巡游庆祝。
万圣节的由来英文版:
All Saints" Day, feast of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and day on which churches glorify God for all God"s saints, known and unknown. It is celebrated on Nov. 1 in the West, since Pope Gregory IV ordered its church-wide observance in 837. Its origin lies earlier in the common commemorations of martyrs who died in groups or whose names were unknown, which were held on various days in different parts of the Church;
over time these celebrations came to include not only the martyrs but all saints. During the Reformation the Protestant churches understood “saints” in its New Testament usage as including all believers and reinterpreted the feast of All Saints as a celebration of the unity of the entire Church. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, hence the name Halloween [=All Hallows" eve] for the preceding evening.
