The Druids, all faith, dedicated this night to their God of death, Samhain. It says that he gathered the souls of the dead of the last 12 months after they had washed away their sins and sent them to heaven of Celts. People flocked to the hills on their lands and lit great fires, pulled away the evil spirits of the year before. Then they temporarily put out the fire in their homes and soon lit it up again.
