Samhain: The Story of Halloween | The Sleepy Historian
Welcome to The Sleepy Historian.
Tonight, we journey back to the misty hills of ancient Ireland — to a time before Halloween had a name.
This is the story of Samhain, the Celtic festival that marked the end of harvest and the beginning of winter — a night when the veil between worlds grew thin, and the living honored the dead with fire and remembrance.
Fall asleep to the story of how a sacred ritual of light and shadow became the modern night we now call Halloween.
