The final tale explored the true mean of Halloween. It told of the meeting between the High King of all Ireland and Saint Patrick on Mount Tara. That meeting was to transform that land, and ours, leading directly to Christianity become the main religion in this country and the Festival of Samain becoming All Hallow’s Eve, or Halloween.
