di no al Halloeen

Many Christians celebrate holidays such as Halloween, regardless of their origin or meaning.

Halloween is impossible to separate the Druids because they originated this "party". For hundreds of years before Christ, the Celts lived in what is now France, Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland. Celtic priests were called Druids. This town was conquered by the Romans after.

Information about the Celts and Druids comes from Caesar and Roman historians, Greek writings dating from about 200 BC, and ancient records found in Ireland. The Greek and Roman writings about the Druids described extensively his frequent barbaric human sacrifices. The ancient Irish texts say little about human sacrifices, but explain in detail the Druids made ​​use of magic to cause storms, curse places, kill by magical spells and create obstacles.

Human Sacrifice

Davies, however, a sixteenth-century writer who studied and found his family lineage going back directly to the Druid priests who fought against Caesar, clearly describes the human sacrifices that made ​​their ancestors and secret sacrifices still carried out regularly Druids of his time.

For the year 47 AD, Rome finally defeated the Druids in England and forbade human sacrifice. The few remaining Druids went into hiding.

Currently, a growing group of people who claim to be descendants of the Druids, still practice their religion, including human sacrifice. Those living in England still hold ceremonies at Stonehenge.

On November 1st was the Celtic New Year

The Druids celebrated on October 31 with human sacrifices and a festival honoring their sun god and Samhain, the lord of the dead. They believed that the sinful souls of those who had died during the year were in a place of torment, and would be released only if Samhain pleased with their sacrifices.

His research from the observation of supernovae have been the reason for your nomination. Contrary to what has been believed, and defended for nearly a century, their findings suggest that the universe's expansion is slowing down process, but the opposite: the universe is expanding rapidly. This calls into serious problems of the Big Bang theory that holds that a mega explosion gave birth to the cosmos and that the residual force slowdown makes the Universe expand. Practically this theory is shot down by the conclusions of these scientists, because it requires an active and residual force to accelerate the movement. But what then given explanation for this acceleration?
