Age old custom laces the pulse of Mythical Ireland which makes its presence felt even in the rhythm and verve of the celebration of Irish (Celtic) New Year. Celtic tradition rules Ireland and is quite obvious in the typical way of New Year celebration in Ireland. Samhain as it means the summers end is the Celtic festival of greeting the new time. Samhain is basically the occasion of celebrating the summers end and the time to welcome the winter season. As per the Celtic beliefs it is the time when God comes near to earth and is therefore the New Year time to start afresh. November 1st is the Samhain day and has been traditionally known as the Irish (Celtic) New Year.
The Celtic tradition of New Year laced with the earlier belief in regard to the Samhain festival has gained a much contemporary touch and is now a day a typical festival of the dead which has been termed as the All Saints Day in Ireland. The European custom, tradition and aura left a remarkable footprint in Ireland and are perhaps one of the main reasons of the modernization of the customary Irish (Celtic) New Year. Although traditionally it is on the 1st November in the form of Samhain yet the Irish people with almost all other European populace now a day celebrates the New Year on the 1st day of January every year.
