Bonfires of Samhain: Exploring the Celtic Roots and History of Halloween

Join us as we explore the many traditions associated with the Halloween season. Where did Halloween originate? What religious, historical, and cultural influences have defined the holiday, beginning with a look at the ancient roots of the pagan tradition? What are some of the many ways it has been celebrated, both today and in the days before plastic masks and trick-or-treat buckets?

Presented by Kelly Bechtel, Library Manager of the McClelland Library at the Irish Cultural Center
