Halloween In Ireland's Ancient East

Fri, Oct 6 7:00 P.M. NHPBS (11.1)  

The Irish are a celebratory people ready to rejoice in life at the beat of a drum, a note from a song and a burst of laughter. Joseph joins the party when he celebrates Halloween in Ireland's Ancient East, an area rich in history, myths and legends, and views this beautiful part of the island through the prism of two festivals. The Puca Festival is an ancient observance reborn and the Wexford Festival Opera illustrates Irish's devotion to community. At the Puca Festival Joseph joins the commemoration of the Celtic New Year, Samhain (pronounced Sow-In), which dates back more than 2,500 years. At the Wexford Opera Festival he spotlights the festival's 70 years of featuring unknown national and international composers with the support of more than 400 community volunteers. In between the festivities, Joseph samples a taste of the island in castles, country homes, markets, pubs and restaurants. It's clear that Ireland has much to celebrate - its heritage and culture, its struggles and survival, its scenic beauty and natural attractions - and we're all invited to join in the revelry.

About Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope:

The Daytime Emmy-winning travel series Travelscope- now re-titled JOSEPH ROSENDO'S TRAVELSCOPE- scales new heights of adventure, natural splendor and cultural richness this season.

Host Joseph Rosendo journeys from the California coast to the islands of Hong Kong and to Chile's Tierra del Fuego.

Along the way, he encounters the heights of natural beauty in the Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast region of British Columbia, celebrates Christmas in Switzerland and circumnavigates the tip of South America.

The series' hallmark remains the rich cultural interchanges between Joseph and the local population.

He joins the parade of medieval guilds during Zurich's spring festival, shares devotions with a holy man in a rock-hewn church in Lalibela, Ethiopia and explores the mysteries behind the stone figures on Easter Island.
