HALLOWEEN IS COMING

Many Americans from the US ask me at this time of the year if we celebrate Halloween in Ireland. They don't really believe me when I tell them that Halloween is Ireland’s most ancient festival [older that St. Patrick's Day or Guinness].

It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals and that such festivals may have had pagan roots but had been Christianised as Halloween by the Christian Church.
