Dorte has reminded me of Samhain or Samaín as it is called in Galicia. Samhain is a Gaelic festival held on October 31–November 1. The Irish name Samhain is derived from Old Irish and means roughly ‘summer’s end’. A harvest festival with ancient roots in Celtic polytheism, it was linked to festivals held around the same time in other Celtic cultures, and continued to be celebrated in late medieval times. Due to its date it became associated with the Christian festival All Saints’ Day, and greatly influenced modern celebration of Halloween. (From Wikipedia).
There is more information about Samhain or Samaín in Galicia in Wikipedia Spanish edition.
