Introduction to Upcoming Events and Holidays
As the days go by, places like Seattle and Minneapolis are losing 3-5 minutes of sunlight daily. With Halloween just 23 days away, the history of this holiday is worth exploring.
The celebration of Halloween is thought to originate from the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. It is also linked to the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day, marking the beginning of Allhallowtide, a time to remember the dead, including saints, martyrs, and the faithful departed.
Donald Trump told Congress to end changing clocks, but it seems that most states will still do it (“spring ahead, fall back”) November 2.
