The Feast of All Hallows and Summer's End

The clocks go back an hour, the evenings are darker and the nights are longer.

In some traditions, the end of October and the end of summer was celebrated as the beginning of the New Year.

It was a time when it's believed that the veil between the natural and the supernatural world is removed and the "dead walk among us".

Samhain (Summer's End) was a Celtic fire festival that was celebrated from 31 October to 2 November.

31 October was their eve of All Hallows (All Saints), Hallowed Evening, shortened to Hallow-e'en.

On 1 November, the Celtic gods and goddesses were honoured.

On 2 November, the spirits and wisdom of their ancestors were honoured.

In Christianity, these days are celebrated as All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

In the Mexican tradition, it is celebrated as the Day of the Dead.
