Samhain - The Year in Ireland with Áirc Damhsa

Samhain - The Year in Ireland with Áirc Damhsa Culture Club.
We welcome Winter on the first day of November. It is the beginning of the dark half of the year; a time for long, dark evenings and colder, wetter weather to set in and the animals to return to their sheds, a time for people to gather in each other's homes and tell stories around the fire, and a time for the dead to come back to the living. The festival of Samhain marks the end of the old Celtic year and the beginning of the new one.
The Year in Ireland is a project by the children at Áirc Damhsa Culture Club with Edwina Guckian documenting the folk traditions and calendar customs of Ireland. For more videos visit www.aircdamhsa.com/the-year-in-ireland
