Episode 49: Day of the Dead and Other Traditions

Many of the holidays we celebrate have deeply-rooted traditions. The U.S. holiday, Halloween, has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts to welcome the harvest at the end of summer. We can trace the earliest roots of the Day of the Dead holiday to the Aztec people who used skulls to honor the dead. Listen in as the Lasses continue the Halloween / Fall theme as they share some October / November holidays celebrated around the world.
