### SAMAIN

Nowadays Galician Samain is celebrated in different ways. The reason for this is that for many years it was forgotten to oblivion and it is in the last few years that many Galician people are trying to recover the spirit of this pagan festival that our ancestors enjoyed - or were scared of - in the past.

However, some people believe that Samaín is merely a commercial invention and they refuse to celebrate or even recognise it as a truly Galician event. The following videos show how it has been celebrated in some places.

After watching the videos, start a debate with the students in your group, and be ready to give some feedback with your conclusions to the rest of the class. The debate must be based on the questions:

- Do you agree that Samaín must be celebrated as a truly Galician event?
- If you agree, what elements should we incorportate in our festival?
- Give reasons if you think it must not be celebrated.
