Halloween Also known as All Hallows Evening. It was created by the Gaelic culture, but it was called Samhain. The Gaelic people believed that the living and dead people worlds would merge. It was thought that the undead would wreck havoc throughout their land and their people. It was brought here by the Irish and Scottish immigrants.

Christmas Before the date was decided for Jesus' birthday, Romans would celebrate Saturnalia, a holiday to honor the god Saturn. Saturnalia begins a week before the winter solstice and continues the rest of the month. During this month, everything is turned upside down. EX: servants become the masters. Christmas is celebrated by 92% of the population, and 96% of the Christian religion. The German immigrants brought Christmas to America.

Valentine’s Day The origin is unknown, there are many different stories of how it came to be. One of the stories is that there was a Roman priest, named Valentine, who would marry young couples, when Emperor Claudius II wouldn’t let young soldiers get married. Another stories is that a man named Valentine was in jail and he fell in love with a young girl, but before he died he sent a message that was signed “From your Valentine”. Valentine’s Day came to America by the British immigrants.

St. Patrick’s Day St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated since the first days of this nation. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, even though he was really born in either Scotland or Roman England. He had lived a normal life until he was kidnapped and sold as a slave in Ireland. Six years after this he escaped and went to Britain, then France, where he became a bishop. He went back to Ireland, where he converted the Gaelic Irish to Christians. It is not a religious holiday, it is secular. St. Patrick’s Day was brought here by the Irish immigrants.
