萬聖節是怎麼來的
其實在天主教會裡面，十一月一日是諸聖節 (All Saints Day)，隔天十一月二日則為萬靈節(All Souls Day，或譯為追思亡者節 )，可以說是萬聖節的起源。

早在西元前數世紀，凱爾特人（Celts，居住在蘇格蘭、威爾斯及愛爾蘭等地）便在十月三十一日的時候，慶祝一個名為「 Samhain 」的節日。因為在十月底，活人世界跟死人世界之間的界線會變得模糊，因此死人的靈魂很容易進入活人的世界，跟我們農曆七月開鬼門的傳說很像。 在那一天，大家會穿著奇裝異服，在外面遊行，希望能把外面的孤魂野鬼給嚇跑。

halo /ˋhelo/

n. 光暈 (建議看一下wiki，裡面很豐富) [A circular band of colored light around a light source, as around the sun or moon, caused by the refraction and reflection of light by ice particles suspended in the intervening atmosphere.]
