Halloween, October 31, the merging of the Pagan festival known as Samhain with the Catholic All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1 and 2 had its roots in Ce Irish Celtic polytheism-the end of the summer harvest and the onset of the long dark days of winter. The souls of the dead were thought to visit homes the night of Samhain, thus the Churchs institution of All Saints Day and All Souls Day the immediate days after, to bless the souls of the dead sending them home to God!
