18 Oct - 1 Nov 2014 h t a e M f o s t i r i p S Celebrate in Meath where Halloween began! www.spiritsofmeath.ie Halloween Festival History of Halloween Samhain, the ancient Celtic Festival that we now call Halloween, originated here in Co. Meath more than 2,000 years ago. Samhain marks the end of the old Celtic Year and the beginning of the New Year. The Celts believed that this was a time of transition, when the veil between our world and the next came down, and the spirits of all who had died since the last Oíche Shamhna (Night of Samhain) moved on to the next life. One of the main spiritual centres of the ancient Celts was located on top of the hill of Tlachtga, now called the Hill of Ward, one mile east of Athboy, Co. Meath. The druids felt that this world and the other world were closest at Tlachtga. It was here on the festival of Samhain that the sacred fire was kindled. It was custom of the Druids to assemble on Tlachtga on the eve of Samhain and that a fire was lit on which offerings were made. All the fires in Ireland were quenched on this night and the men of Ireland were forbidden to relight them except from the fire of Tlachtga. The lighting of the sacred fire was a solemn and sacred ritual. This was the first day of winter and death was very close. The spirits of the dead returned and appeared to men. Torches were lit from this sacred fire and carried to seven other hills around the county including Tara and Loughcrew, and then on to light up the whole countryside. www.spiritsofmeath.ie Spooky Family Fun 1 2 Meath Pumpkin Address: College Land, Summerhill, County Meath Tel: +353 (0) 87 7628313 / +353 (0) 86 0376583 Email: canning.declan56gmail.com Dates: 10th – 31st Oct Times: 9.30am – 5.30pm Market: Children & Families Description: Pick your own pumpkin & make a spooky Jack O’ Lantern Outdoor event – wellies & rain coats recommended.
