Oh my gourd-ness, Halloween is almost here! While our contemporary celebrations are all about costumes and candy, Halloween was first an ancient Celtic religious observance called Samhain. This day, eventually renamed All Saints' Day, was celebrated on November 1st. The day before––October 31st––was called All Hallows Eve, which morphed into the name we recognize today.<\/p>\n
