                    [Summary] => Today we celebrate Halloween. Along with Valentine’s Day, it is one of the two holidays that we inherited from the American regime. Like many Christian feasts, Halloween had a pagan origin. Halloween traces its beginnings to the ancient Celts of the British Isles. In their old calendar, October 31 was the last day of the year. It was the day when all witches and warlocks were abroad and the souls of the departed roamed the earth.

                    [Summary] => Today we celebrate Halloween. Along with Valentine’s Day, it is one of the two holidays that we inherited from the American regime. Like many Christian feasts, Halloween had a pagan origin. Halloween traces its beginnings to the ancient Celts of the British Isles. In their old calendar, October 31 was the last day of the year. It was the day when all witches and warlocks were abroad and the souls of the departed roamed the earth.
