On November 1st, the Celts celebrated the end of the HARVEST

SEASON ( a time when summer ended, and farmers gathered all of

their crops to prepare for the long, cold winter).

(Sow-wen). The Celts would light big bonfires, wear scary costumes

and burn some of their crops and animals in order to scare the ghosts

away.

As Catholicism grew more popular in Europe, they looked down on

the Celts for believing in the ghost world. Therefore, the Pope decided

that November 1 will now celebrate ALL SAINTS’ DAY – a day to honor

religious leaders and martyrs (people who died for their belief/religion).
