Dear Friends,
Welcome to the October issue.
Happy Halloween!
HALLOWEEN
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia] it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced ''sow-an'' or ''sow-in'')".
"Samhain and the Celtic Origins of Halloween".
''Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night'', pp.11-21. New York: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-516896-8."
The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".
A similar festival was held by the ancient Britons and is known as Calan Gaeaf (pronounced ''Kálan Gái av'').
Origin of the NameThe word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"),
that is, the night before All Hallows Day.
Up through the early
twentieth century, the spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used,
eliding the "v" and shortening the word. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hálȝena mćssedćȝ, the feast of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.J Just some more information for you.
