Halloween listening comprehension

This listening exercise explores the history of contemporary Halloween traditions and observances, such as bonfires, jack o’lanterns, costumes and trick or treating.



Halloween is traced back to the Irish festival of Samhain - a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. 



We discuss how a holiday that is now celebrated worldwide actually started with the Irish Celts - an ancient Irish people.  Also defined as a person who speaks a Celtic language or a descendant of such a person: the Bretons, Irish, Welsh, and Highland Scots are Celts
