ORIGEN
• Ancient Celtic peoples used to hold a grand ceremony to commemorate "the end of the
harvest." This celebration took place at the end of October. This festival was baptized with
the Gaelic word "Samhain". (The etymological meaning is "the end of summer".) This is
because during this celebration they said goodbye to Lugh, god of the sun.
