关于万圣节由来的传说有许多版本,最普遍的认为,那是源于基督诞生前的古西欧国家,主要包括爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士,这几处的古西欧人叫德鲁伊特人.德鲁伊特的新年在十一月一日,新年前夜,德鲁伊特人让年轻人集队,戴着各种怪异面具,拎着刻好的萝卜灯（南瓜灯系后期习俗,古西欧最早没有南瓜）,他们游走于村落间.这在当时实则为一种秋收的庆典；也有说是“鬼节”,传说当年死去的人,灵魂会在万圣节的前夜造访人世,据说人们应该让造访的鬼魂看到圆满的收成并对鬼魂呈现出丰盛的款待.所有篝火及灯火,一来为了吓走鬼魂,同时也为鬼魂照亮路线,引导其回归.
在中世纪的中欧,曾有过基督教摧毁异教徒的历史.可是新年夜前的祭祀庆典从未真正消除,不过以巫术的形式出现.这也就是为什么我们现在的万圣节里,还留有巫婆的扫帚、黑猫、咒语等痕迹.
万圣节的来历的两种传说：
第一种
两千多年前,欧洲的天主教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日” (ALL HALLOWS DAY) .“HALLOW” 即圣徒之意.传说自公元前五百年,居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人 (CELTS)把这节日往前移了一天,即10月31日.他们认为该日是夏天正式结束的日子,也就是新年伊始,严酷的冬季开始的一天.那时人们相信,故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵,借此再生,而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希望.而活着的人则惧怕死魂来夺生,于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光,让死魂无法找寻活人,又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂灵吓走.之后,他们又会把火种烛光重新燃起,开始新的一年的生活.传说那时凯尔特人部落还有在10月31日把活人杀死用以祭奠死人的习俗.
到了公元1世纪,占领了凯尔特部落领地的罗马人也渐渐接受了万圣节习俗,但从此废止了烧活人祭死人的野蛮做法.罗马人庆祝丰收的节日与凯尔特人仪式结合,戴着可怕的面具,打扮成动物或鬼怪,则是为了赶走在他们四周游荡的妖魔.这也就是今天全球大部分人以古灵精怪的打扮,来庆祝万圣节的由来.时间流逝,万圣节的意义逐渐起了变化,变得积极快乐起来,喜庆的意味成了主流.死魂找替身返世的说法也渐渐被摒弃和忘却.到了今天,象征万圣节的形象、图画如巫婆、黑猫等,大都有友善可爱和滑稽的脸.
