Samhain ( or OED; Irish from the Old Irish samain) is the word for
November in the Gaelic languages. The Scottish Gaelic spelling is Samhainn
or Samhuinn (for the feast), or an t-Samhain (for the month). The Festival
of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic
culture, and is generally regarded as 'The Celtic New Year'.Danaher, Kevin
