Samhain is the Irish word for November. There are also connections with an ancient festival marking the end of the harvest season, on November 1st. Samhain comes from the ancient words for “summer’s end” and some say it marked the beginning of the Celtic year. There are many festivals associated with that time of year down through the centuries. Even today there are festivals that use the name Samhain.
