 The Samhain 2005 Bonfire
|
The Festival beginning the kickoff of Samhain... an old Celtic tradition.
The lighting of Tara was an important ritual to the Celtic people around Samhain. The legend behind it was that the hill was set on fire by the Formor and The Dagda extinguished the fire and defeated the Formor. The tradition carried on until later times, and has become a staple in the celebration of Samhain. Come, gather around the bonfire and let us all enjoy Samhain.
