Halloween

Yet another holiday... Halloween, or, more correctly, All Hallows Eve. In celebrating halloween, we go around asking people for candy. On all hallows eve, you would go around dressed up as ghosts and evil spirits so that the evil spirits would not attack or curse you. All that remains of this tradition is the costumes. This coincides with the ancient Celtic holiday, The Eve Of Samhain, where the Calleich Beuhair (or whatever(My spelling is not the best)), the evil witch comes out of a rock and freezes the earth with hear icy breath. To ward off the witch, one would put an offering of fruit and squash it, so that the witch would eat the offering and pass the house over.
