๐Ÿ‚๐ŸItโ€™s that time of year again when we start thinking about Halloween. The nights are drawing in and there is a noticeable chill in the air ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚

๐Ÿ‘ปWe have bracelets, earrings and necklaces are almost ready for your Halloween celebrations.

๐ŸŽƒAll Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is the day before All Hallows' Day, also known as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast day itself

๐ŸThe name derives from the Old English 'hallowed' meaning holy or sanctified and is now usually contracted to the more familiar word Hallowe'en.

๐ŸŽƒHereโ€™s a brief history of the festival

๐Ÿ‚In the early 7th century Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon in Rome, formerly a temple to all the gods, as a church dedicated to Saint Mary and the Martyrs, and ordered that that date, 13th May, should be celebrated every year.

๐Ÿ‘ปIt became All Saints' Day, a day to honour all the saints, and later, at the behest of Pope Urban IV (d. 1264), a day specially to honour those saints who didn't have a festival day of their own.

๐ŸIn the 8th century, on 1st November, Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel to all the saints in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Gregory IV then made the festival universal throughout the Church, and 1st November has subsequently become All Saints' Day for the western Church.

๐Ÿ‚The Orthodox Church celebrates All Saints' Day on the first Sunday after Passover - a date closer to the original 13th May.

Hallowe'en and Samhain

It is widely believed that many Hallowe'en traditions have evolved from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain which was Christianised by the early Church. Pronounced sow-in, Samhain is a Gaelic word meaning 'end of the summer'. This festival is believed to have been a celebration of the end of the harvest, and a time of preparation for the coming winter.

It is widely accepted that the early church missionaries chose to hold a festival at this time of year in order to absorb existing native Pagan practices into Christianity, thereby smoothing the conversion process.

A letter Pope Gregory I sent to Bishop Mellitus in the 6th century, in which he suggested that existing places of non-Christian worship be adopted and consecrated to serve a Christian purpose.

Encyclopaedia Britannica states that this date may have been chosen "in an effort to supplant the Pagan holiday with a Christian observance".

The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions also claims that Hallowe'en "absorbed and adopted the Celtic new year festival, the eve and day of Samhain".

However, there are supporters of the view that Hallowe'en, as the eve of All Saints' Day, originated entirely independently of Samhain and some question the existence of a specific pan-Celtic religious festival which took place on 31st October/1st November.

Autumn is a time of transition which we both see and feel, it is the season of release and letting go. Trees shed their leaves, plants return to the earth, and animals begin to prepare for the colder, quieter months ahead. Autumn reminds us that endings are necessary, and that release is part of the cycle.

The changes we feel seem to be in contrast to the warm breeze that has been a regular feature through the summer. The mornings are chillier, the leaves on the trees have started their shift from their lush green to a tapestry of oranges and browns. Mornings are misty and cool and there is that familiar smell of damp earth in the air but the afternoons are still warm and pleasant. We need to think of Autumn not just as an external maker but also an inner state, and contemplate how we can slow down, listen to nature and to honour the ebb and flow inside of us. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝAutumn is a time to notice the feeling, the pull to reflect, to rest and to recalibrate. We must allow the falling leaves remind us that there is beauty in release as we allow the shorter days encourage us to rest more deeply.
