Happy Celtic New Year

Happy Celtic New Year everyone!!!!
As you know the Celts originated around central/eastern europe and spread westward as far as Ireland. Finally they survived in only Ireland, Scotland and isolated areas of France and Spain. Their new year season was called Samhan. Later in Christian times it became known as Halloween, the eve of All-Hallows (All-Saints) The Irish and Scotish emigrants brought over the festival with them to America and it grew from that. It is the night that the spirits of the dead were allowed to walk again with the living. They visited the houses and families they had left behind. Food and drink were often left out for them.
Hope the new year is a good one for you!
