Samhain is pronounced "SOW-EN" and is a Celtic word meaning "Summers End." It was celebrated November 1st as one of the largest pagan fire festivals, a time when it was believed the dead could cross over to the living. The Christian Church adopted this celebration and called it "All Saints Day" in honor of dead saints. The evening before it (October 31st) was called "Hallows Eve" (the night before All Hallows/Saints Day). Today the festival is known as Halloween.
