Did you know the Origin of Halloween?
Halloween or Samhain? Why witches, pumpkins and spooky things? Are we really celebrating what our ancestors did, or has it all become a lot of commercial nonsense. Here I look at what Samhain was, and what Halloween is, and the differences are, well... just watch the video.
We touch on All Saints Day, All Souls Day, and All Hallows Eve, to find out the actual day we shoud be celebrating something.
