The Spiritual Origins of Halloween
Saturday Night Lecture REPLAY
Presented by Deborah Roth
Since ancient times, cultures all over the world have marked the seasonal “wheel of the year” with celebrations reflecting the cycles of nature. And in the mid-Fall, all of nature seems to be dying…the leaves decay, the birds head south, the first frosts appear. The days grow shorter and in this deep, liminal time, celebrations have long been observed as a feast of the dead and an honoring of ancestors.
Join us as we explore some of these multi-cultural traditions and create sacred space to enter the darkest weeks of the year with our own modern-day remembrance ritual.
