A Halloween Encore…What Are The Origins Of Halloween?

This week, Abby revisits a conversation with an American Halloween author whose work has been featured on the History Channel and in National Geographic, Lesley Bannatyne, for a lesson on Halloween. Lesley discusses the origins of Halloween in Celtic and Christian traditions, how Halloween has evolved through American history and what this holiday can teach us about our modern times.
