Remember to teach your family, friends or students about Halloween too! Did you know that Halloween is a 2,000 year old tradition? Well it is, and it all began with the ancient Celtics in Ireland with the tradition called Samhain pronounced Sow-in. They followed the Pagan religion and the Pagans feared the winter and believed that Autumn was the time when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest allowing spirits to roam the earth and create even more fear and horror. As Christianity spread in the 7th century the Catholic church adapted Halloween in order to convert more people over to the religion, making Halloween a Christian holiday. As the Irish left to migrate to America they brought their traditions with them, soon Americans fell under the spell of Halloween making it the most beloved holiday next to Christmas. Pumpkins weren’t used as jack-o-lanterns until the tradition made its way to the U.S, prior to that the Irish carved turnips instead!  Witch Watercolor Painting  Skeleton Watercolor Painting
