Halloween or Holloween?

[Evanescence]

I have never seen something so viciously anti catholic as that website

and those chick sites as well I don’t think that site should be on the net, its amazing what people can get away with, with the whole “freedom of religion”

You should all celebrate Halloween because it is my birthday. Yeah for me! :tiphat: Tommorrow I turn 39. I expect lots of candy from you guys.

That’s one reason to celebrate. Happy Birthday!

As a Southern Baptist my church had a “christian alternative” halloween party which I will refer to as a holloween. Instead of dressing up like ghost and goblins and so forth we dressed in “christian appropriate costumes” and had a carnival at church for our safety vs of walking through our dark neighborhoods.

How should we combat this anti halloween talk by many of our southern baptist friends and other fundamental protestants? Should we shrug it off or educate?

I now know a Catholic, that the early church martyers were having a festival prior to all souls day, they dressed up like ghost, demons, witches, and dead martyers because they knew when they died that they knew where they were going (purgatory, heaven) and they were having fun, enjoying life…

So maybe we should too, have fun, dress up, celebrate, enjoy life.

I see no harm in that! What’s wrong with candy corn, pumpkins, and dressing like a pirate?

There are SO many happy childhood memories of Halloween! I think it’s silly to be afraid of what is essentially a Christian celebration that turned into a secular candy-fest for kids.

This is an old old thread. See this one. Is Halloween evil?
