Blessed Samhan to you also. I hope your winter is not too cold and your crops in spring return with abundance

Blessed & Happy Samhan to you too!

I'll have to admit, I must either be naive or I must be a cave dweller....I've never heard of Samhan before. Now I must run out and find out what it is. I have a hunch....but it's fun to learn.

Basket, I also want to wish you a wonderful cruise to you and your hubby!

Hugs!

Samhain is the original version of the Hallowwen we all know here in the states/

It is pronounced 'sao win" and was a harvest festival as well as a remembering of the dead. Also with the end of harvest comes the winter and in those days, only the strong ones survived a winter so it was also a time for prayer for strentgth. And inclulded prayers for a good spring and an abundant harvest next year. It was thought that the spirits walked the earth that night so the tradition of setting out a basket of fruit and sweets by the door began to placate the spirits.

Once the church got involved, it changed to the Halloween that it is now.

Wow! Thanks for expaining it. I had no clue what you were talking about. I never knew.

Hugs Nancy
