Notable celebrations and festivals in Ireland
The next day after Halloween comes another Celtic festival, Samhain. Locals cook special horns of dough. As so, they try to appease the god of winter. The day was timed to the end of the harvesting. It was believed that those who break their promises on this day would die. So, the festival was alternatively called the day of the dead. People used to kindle fires and hop through them, believing that it would help to purify the souls and drive away evil spirits. On December 26, after Christmas, local residents celebrate St. Stephen's Day. That's a commemoration of a martyr's death. He was stoned after his refusal to abandon Christianity. Children on this day dress up in the chimney sweep, smear their faces with soot and go to the streets, where they sing different holiday songs. Passers-by and neighbors give them presents and sweets.
