All Hallow's Eve
So you've got your pointed hat, broom-stick and spooky make up all sorted for halloween, but what is the true significance of the 31st October?
Firstly, Halloween is believed to derive from an ancient Celtic festival known as "Samhain," which in Gaelic means "end of the summer." This would mark the end of harvest and the beginning of preparations for winter.
Secondly, there is another interpretation; in the Christian calendar, Halloween is the evening before All Saints Day (a day honouring all the saints). Traditionally, the Church would hold a vigil to so worhippers could come and pray.
Whether you're celebrating all the Saints or welcoming the winter months, I hope you have a fantastic Halloween this year!
