Early Christians were only too eager to include certain pagan ( Celtic) festivals into their own panoply of celebrations. I believe that Halloween is based on the Celtic festival of Samhain Some early Christians found it difficult to let go of practices they were brought up with before converting.

What do you think ?

These were great, but I can't imagine spending more than 10 minutes in a few of them. Do they just stand in a corner at every party? I always factor mobility into my costumes.
