Samhain, meaning “summer’s end,” is the name of the original Celtic holiday from which Halloween developed. It marked the end of the Celtic year, and was used as a night to honor the dead. It was believed that this night was the time when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest and therefore easier to communicate with the dead.
Long ago the Irish brought the tradition of the Jack O’Lantern to America but unlike the pumpkins used today the original Jack O’Lanterns were made of everything from turnips to potatoes. People would put lit gourds, turnips and eventually pumpkins on their porches to welcome deceased loved ones and act as protection from evil spirits. The change from gourds and turnips to pumpkins occurred when the European settlers arrived in America they found the native pumpkin, indigenous to the western hemisphere, to be the easiest to carve and it has been used ever since.
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.
