Samhain is a Gaelic festival
on November 1, marking the
end of the harvest season and
beginning of winter or the
darker half of the year. It is
also the Irish language name
for November. Celebrations
begin on the evening of Oct
31, as the Celtic day began
and ended at sunset. Wikipedia
Not exactly certain as to why,
but in all celebrated holidays,
I always prefer the eve over
the day. Might just be because
there's always a tad of mystery
to the dark of night.
This evening I see us sitting
by the fire, perhaps enjoying
a tad of eggnog and thanking
the divine for the gifts of love
from those who have gone
before.
Pray, may we each appreciate
and enjoy these next four days.
May our hearts and minds be
inundated with sweet memories.
Indeed, we are so blest . . .
Happy Samhain eve!
