This day of cold blustery winds will be stripping the trees bare of their remaining foliage. The origins of our current day all hallows eve are deeply rooted in Celtic belief. Today, as we light candles in windows and in jack-o-lanterns, we mark the end of our harvest and beginning of the darker months. The sounds of laughter and running shuffles through leaves will fill the air as children of all ages run from home to home performing in their costumes for a treat. When we return we will warm ourselves with a shared meal, hot apple cider, spiced wine and apple cake. As the kids settle in to count their cache, the adults will be thankful for glowing warmth in the darkness a bountiful harvest and remembering those who came before.
