The Celts were believers of a Nature Religion. They didn't call themselves Pagan. When the Roman Empire came to the Ireland, they called the country dwellers as Pagans. The word "Pagan" was a slang term those days to put down (degrade) someone lower or uncivilized. Later the word "Pagan" became a word to call the old religion on the country dwellers.
Paganism is a belief system by the Celts. Celtic is a 'nationality' for lack of better terms and valued the belief system of Paganism. In today's society for example: Swedes (people who come from Sweden) value the belief system of Christianity.
In Celtic paganism, the cross-quarter (midway between a solstice and an equinox) holiday that occurs around Hallowe'en is called Samhain (sah-vin). In Norse paganism, Winter Nights occurs around the same time as Hallowe'en.Please see related link below!
