Halloween...
Between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and
death. Halloween is time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have
originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.
In the Eighth Century, Pope Gregory III designated
November 1st as time to honor all saints and martyrs. The evening before was known
as All Hallows' Eve and Later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a
secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such
as trick-or-treating.
In a number of countries
around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people
continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet
treats.
