What is a pagan holiday?

One pagan holiday is Samhain, which is celebrated on October 31st to November 1st. It marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and is often seen as a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest. Samhain is a time to honor and remember the ancestors, as well as to celebrate the cycles of death and rebirth. Traditionally, bonfires are lit and rituals are performed to protect against evil spirits and ensure a bountiful harvest in the coming year. In modern times, Samhain has been incorporated into the celebration of Halloween, with traditions such as dressing up in costumes and trick-or-treating originating from this ancient holiday.
