The Celtic people, who lived more than 2000 years ago feared the evening of Oct. 31 more than any other day of the year.
It was the eve of their festival of Samhain. Samhain was a joyful harvest festival that marked the death of the old year and the beginning of a new one.
The day itself was a time for paying homage to the sun god Baal who had provided the people with the ripened grain for use in the upcoming winter.
Come evening evil spirits were everywhere.
Charms and spells were said to have more power on the eve of Samhain.
Several rituals were performed by the Celtic priests, Druids, to appease the Lord of the Dead.
生活在2000多年前的凯尔特人对10月31日晚上的恐惧超过了一年中其他任何一天。
这是他们萨温节的前夜。萨温节是一个庆祝丰收的节日,标志着旧年的结束和新一年的开始。
这一天本身是向太阳神巴尔致敬的时间,他为人们提供了成熟的谷物,以备即将到来的冬天。
到了晚上,恶魔到处都是。
据说在萨温节前夕,咒语和符咒的威力更大。
凯尔特祭司德鲁伊们举行了一些仪式来安抚死者。
