A Harvest and Halloween Handbook was written by Pamela Layton McMurtry. It is filled with some of her childhood memories, as well as the traditions and history of Halloween and harvest time.
Learn about the ancient traditions of Israel's Harvest Celebration (which was a happy, joyous event), and how it turned into the dark, spooky event now known as Halloween. Ancient Irish records tell us how an entity named Lugh, "The Shining One", introduced unspeakable horrors to his pagan followers. And learn about the evolution of the Catholic Hallomas.
But this book isn't just a history lesson. It is also packed with fun new ideas to make your Halloween celebrations the best ever. There are ideas for party themes and decor (for children as well as adults), as well as costumes, recipes, craft patterns and even complete menus. You will find party themes ranging from fantasy to religious, so there is something for everyone.
