In this paper a continuous procedure is presented for euclideanization of Majorana and Weyl fermions without doubling their degrees of freedom. The Euclidean theory so obtained is SO(4) invariant and Osterwalder-Schrader (OS) positive. This enables us to define a one-complex parameter family of the N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SSYM) theories which interpolate between the Minkowski and Euclidean SSYM theory. The interpolating action, and hence the Euclidean action, manifests all the continuous symmetries of the original Minkowski space theory.
