STORY DESCRIPTION
Before there was Hallowe'en, there was Samhain.
Samhain, ancient Celtic festival of autumnal fire. The night when worldly boundaries split open to let gods, spirits and other beings roam within the human dimension.
And so it happens that on the Feast of Samhain Fr Éamonn receives a mysterious visitor at his ivy-covered church. The stranger makes a deceptively simple request: Celebrate Holy Mass in memory of seven departed souls.
Who were these people, that their souls want for a Christian Mass during this pagan feast of fire? How did the metaphysical forces of Ivy or
Blackberry, Dog Rose or Yew, shape their lives?
And why does it matter now?
