Samhain

A celebration of life, death, and renewal

This ancient Gaelic celebration marks the end of the harvest and the start of the darker half of the year. It was once a time when people believed the barrier between the living and the dead grew thin. As part of the tradition, folks carved turnips into lanterns to ward off wandering spirits.
