According to Celtic culture, November is the darkest time of the year because it is accompanied by drastic weather changes, agricultural and farming changes, and life seems to be dead and


there is darkness everywhere. This is in comparison to spring, when there is full bloom every year, birds are chirping, animals wake up from their slumber and life seems to be reborn


everywhere. Since November is dark and there is apparently no life, Celts chose this month to remember the dead and celebrate All Saints' Day.
