| Worshipful Harvest |
Worshipful HarvestKaty Siepert Sunday, 30 October 2011 The medieval Irish festival of Samhain marked the end of the harvest; an end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half". It was celebrated over the course of several days and included a kind of Festival of the Dead. As it turns out, this practice, and the concepts of lightness and dark, sorrow and celebration, are found in traditions all around the world. |
