A very informative tour yesterday back to where Halloween began…

The group enjoyed a fascinating guided tour and learned so much about Rathcroghan's history and its connections to the origins of Halloween, including a visit to the legendary Cave of the Cats - Oweynagat.

Rathcroghan's connections to Samhain are particularly significant, with ancient Irish literature providing the earliest recorded links to the traditions from which Halloween evolved, predating the written accounts behind competing claims elsewhere in Ireland 🍂

A big thank you to Mike McCarthy and the team at Rathcroghan Visitor Centre for their welcome and for sharing their knowledge of this remarkable part of our county's heritage. It was so insightful - highly recommended, and it was a timely reminder of the fantastic history on our doorstep with the Samhain Procession taking place in Roscommon Town tomorrow evening.
