Seriously, though, congrats. If you're lucky it'll skip right by Halloween and be born on All Saints Day, like me.
That's right, ******** I'm a holy man.
If you want to go further back to the original holiday, you were born on
Samhein which was then changed to All Saints Day by the Church.
Quote:
Samhain marked the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". It was traditionally celebrated over the course of several days. Many scholars believe that it was the beginning of the Celtic year.[2][3][4] It has some elements of a festival of the dead. The Gaels believed that the border between this world and the otherworld became thin on Samhain; because some animals and plants were dying, it thus allowed the dead to reach back through the veil that separated them from the living. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. People and their livestock would often walk between two bonfires as a cleansing ritual, and the bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames
Dirty heathen.
Also, I was born on your counterpart holiday of Beltane woot! Edited, Mar 28th 2010 10:15am by DSD
