"Sowen" means "end of summer". The fact is that in the ancient Celts, the year was divided into two seasons - the season of light and the season of darkness. And it is in Sowen that the season of darkness begins. When Christianity came to the Celts, missionaries faced the fact that the eve of November 1 was too serious a date. It was impossible to ignore it - it was too real in this area. Therefore, they acted as befits wise missionaries - they called this day in their own way - and it turned out to be the famous All Saints' Day. And, accordingly, the night before him is the very Christmas Eve on which most ghost stories take place. #ghostmug #webmug #vampiremug #mummymug #halloweenmugs #samhainmug #sowenmug #halloweengifts (at Russia, Saint-Petersburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkNf9yj_oL/?utm_medium=tumblr
