Chances are many people don’t know the connection between the Celtic celebration of Samhain (pronounced Sah win or Sow in) which marks the onset of Winter and our current celebration of Halloween. It’s both Lark and Momster’s favorite holiday. It’s also a time when there’s a “threshold” between this world and the one beyond (if you believe that kind of thing) and the opportunity to honor those who’ve gone before us.
