The pagan celebration served as a welcome to the harvest at the end of Summer, during those times people would wear costumes and light bonfires to keep the bad spirits away. The holiday later became designated by the Roman Catholic Pope as a date to honour all saints. The Headless Horseman is a mythical figure with medieval origins depicted as a headless man on horseback, sometimes carrying the decapitated head. The tale has different versions but it's speculated that it has British origins. It became popular in American culture throughout books, comics, films and folklore. #### **ABOUT THE SILVERTOWNE MINT** The SilverTowne Mint has become well known for producing high-quality, affordable, bullion products with exceptional purity standards.
