Greetings, For a long time, I was much the same way. I refused to participate with Holloween with the belief that evil was being promoted and celebrated. In many ways, I still believe that. However, what changed my view was a church I once belonged to that had a fair on Holloween for the children, but also a church wide celebration the next night, on November 1st. It was then that the history behind Holloween was presented to me. Holloween, or all hollows eve, was a night to ward off evil spirits in preparation of All Saints Day, a day to celebrate the lives and sacrifices of the Saints. The pastor began by dressing up as a christian saint he admired, and told of the saint's life, then other teachers and deacons would do something similar. I learned more about the christian saints that day than I ever did any other time. The children had a fun time also with various games and such based around period games. Although something was done on Holloween, it was the next day where the real celebration took place. Jesusman |

Shalom,brother. I have a hard time being a christian, believing, or even thinking that it is okay for my children to dress up as a devil, demon, killer from a movie, or a fairy tale princess, and it all be okay with the Lord. Now dressing up as a saint at a church function, I can't argue with. On the other hand, why would a christian want to let his/her child dress up as a demon,etc.?????? michael |
