Happy Halloween!

[missourigaymer]

It's officially Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone! In the spirit of the day, how much do you know of the history of Halloween?

[southbiochem]

Only that is some Keltic/Druid/"pagan" stuff, imported from Europe and massified by the US...

maybe someone can elaborate more mile:

Curiosly enough, in my country this day is festive cause it's the Protestant Christian Churches Holiday

we can't seem to get off the religious wagon over here...but for a Catholic majority country, it's actually good and different

Anyway...Happy Halloween to all of you who celebrate it

happy Halloween - Samhain is a Gaelic festival that was on the 31st,,,it sort of started the tradition of Halloween along with a few merged other celebrations - a Wicca would explain it better than I could = the band Samhain featuring Glenn Danzig were awesome too

And a happy halloween to you to missourigaymer

the word halloween itself comes from the catholic church and is a corruption of all hallows-eve and like has been said connected with gaelic/celtic traditions in rememberence of the dead
