 The Celts called it Samhain; in the Christian tradition, the festivals of All Saints and All Souls come around the same time of year; and, in traditional Mexican culture, it is remembered as Dia de los Muertos. Join us as we celebrate a time of year when the harvests have ended, and we turn our faces toward the oncoming winter months–time spent in reflection on the faithful departed in our lives.
