　　体裁：说明文　话题：西方文化　时间：6分钟y day.Unfortunately，most things that people don't understand can become fearful.

　　The biggest misunderstanding about Halloween is that it is a day for devil worshipping.Halloween is now celebrated on October 31 as a costume and candy holiday，but those traditions have actual meaning in history.

　　October 31st was celebrated as a holiday with great festivals because it marks the end of the harvest year.It also marks the end of the lighter half of the year and the beginning of the darker half of the year，because the light of day gets shorter and the dark of night gets longer.In ancient cultures，this was a really meaningful event.

　　Also it is believed that on this day，the veil between the worlds(dead and alive) is at its thinnest point and that the spirits can most easily pass through it.It is a very special day to honor spirit.Many people in ancient times believing that the dead would walk among us became fearful and designed strange costumes to fool the dead，which is where the tradition of Halloween costumes comes from.Besides，because Halloween marks the beginning of the darker half of the year，many people saw that as evil and became frightened and therefore had such negative associations with this time of year.

　　Halloween，for me，is a deeply personal holiday.It is a time to reflect on the spiritual nature of myself.It is a day to reconnect to the magical things in life，such as how the love that I feel for my grandmother，who passed away over ten years ago，is still as strong now when I think of her as it ever was when I could be with her in person.My husband and I exchanged our wedding vows(誓言) on Halloween because I couldn't think of a more meaningful or romantic day to pledge our love and life to each other.【语篇导读】　本文介绍了万圣节为什么让人们产生负面的联想。 ancient cultures，people celebrated October 31st because________.wer
