Halloween36萬圣節(jié)（HALLOWEEN）為每年的10月31日。是11月1日諸圣節(jié)的前夕，通常叫做萬圣節(jié)，這一夜是一年中最“鬧鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼節(jié)”。源自古代凱爾特民族(Celtic)的新年節(jié)慶，此時(shí)也是祭祀亡魂的時(shí)刻，在避免惡靈干擾的同時(shí)，也以食物祭拜祖靈及善靈以祈平安渡過嚴(yán)冬，是西方傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。萬圣節(jié)期間，許多公共場所乃至居家院落，都會(huì)布置上很多裝璜，諸如各式鬼怪、南瓜燈、還有黑貓以及巫婆的掃帚之類；孩子們會(huì)穿上每年不一樣的萬圣節(jié)服裝，拎著南瓜燈的提簍去挨家挨戶地討糖，說是“trickortreat”。萬圣節(jié)（HALLOWEEN）為每年的10月31日。是11月137HalloweenParade(游行)HalloweenParade(游行)38InFebruaryCarnival(狂歡節(jié))InFebruaryCarnival(狂歡節(jié))39狂歡節(jié)（Carnival）通常是基督教四旬齋前飲宴和狂歡的節(jié)日，原由主節(jié)一直延長到四旬節(jié)前一天,如今通常只限四旬節(jié)前幾天。盛行于歐美地區(qū)。許多國家都有一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的狂歡節(jié)節(jié)日，化妝舞會(huì)、彩車游行、假面具和宴會(huì)是狂歡節(jié)的幾大特色，它起源于非基督徒的節(jié)日慶典，如希臘酒神節(jié)、古羅馬農(nóng)神節(jié)和牧神節(jié)以及凱爾特人的宗教儀式等。雖然這些節(jié)日舉行的時(shí)間不盡相同，但大多數(shù)都在2、3月份舉行。狂歡節(jié)（Carnival）通常是基督教四旬齋前飲宴和狂歡的節(jié)40
