Halloween Party
On Friday 3rd November, residents and co-workers from Camphill Milton Keynes had a Halloween party at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes.
Why do we celebrate Halloween?
The three days between 31st October and 2nd November see pagan and Christian celebrations intertwined in a fascinating way and is a perfect example of superstition struggling with religious belief.
Currently, it is widely thought that Halloween originated as a pagan Celtic festival of the dead related to the Irish and Scottish Samhain, but there is no evidence that it was connected with the dead in pre-Christian times.
