Poklonskaya talks about the essence of the pagan Celtic holiday Samhain

A deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the "United Russia" party, Natalia Poklonskaya, spoke about the essence of the pagan Celtic holiday Samhain, which is celebrated on the night of October 31 to November 1.

According to Poklonskaya, Samhain is a holiday that marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the cold season. On this day, the Celts celebrated the victory of darkness over light and believed that on this night the border between the worlds of the living and the dead is erased.

Poklonskaya also noted that Samhain is associated with various mystical traditions and beliefs. For example, it is believed that on this night witches and sorcerers gather at the Sabbath, and that ghosts of the dead come to the world of the living.

Poklonskaya expressed concern about the growing popularity of Samhain in Russia, especially among young people. She believes that this holiday contradicts the traditional values ​​of Russian society and can lead to negative consequences.

Poklonskaya stressed that Samhain is a pagan holiday that has nothing to do with Christian culture. She urged Russians not to celebrate it and warned that it can lead to dangerous consequences.

Poklonskaya's statement has sparked controversy in Russian society. Some people support her position, while others believe that she is interfering in the personal lives of citizens.

The discussion about Samhain highlights the ongoing debate in Russia about the role of religion and tradition in modern society.
