The Museum Of Natural History And Its New Planetarium
The Halloween we celebrate today evolved from ancient Celtic practices, Roman and Catholic rituals and various European folk traditions. As these peoples and practices came into contact throughout history, the celebrations adapted and combined into what has become the current yearly celebration on October 31st. Halloween has long been seen as a time where lines between the living and dead are blurred and the veil is lifted between polarities: dark and light, good and evil, fall and winter and life and death.
Halloween’s Celtic Origins: Samhain
The Celts were around 2,000 years ago, and they lived in present-day Ireland, the UK and France. Their New Year celebration fell on November 1st, and it acknowledged the harvest, the end of light summer and the arrival of dark winter. The Celts were a people entirely dependent upon natural elements like the sun for survival, so in addition to cold and darkness, winter often brought death.
