Halloween or Samhain

Halloween or Samhain had its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead.
The Celtic peoples, who were once found all over Europe, divided the year by four major holidays. According to their calendar, the year began on a day corresponding to November 1st on our present calendar. The date marked the beginning of winter. Since they were pastoral people, it was a time when cattle and sheep had to be moved to closer pastures and all livestock had to be secured for the winter months. Crops were harvested and stored. The date marked both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle.


So, what are your plans for Samhain, or are you hiding under the bed?
Hey! Who is that under here?
