Halloween....
Halloween has become kind of a secular
"holiday." Do we know its origin? It comes
from a pagan feast of the Celtic people. It was
called Samhain, the god of the dead. On October
31 and November 1, the ancient Celts would
celebrate the beginning of winter and the end of
the harvest. They would give tribute to Samhain. They believed that during this time the
spirits of the deceased could roam the land causing mischief. These ghosts would be appeased
with treats, and they could be frightened away
with carved turnips and bonfires.
Through the passage of time, this feast lost its
pagan religious roots and became the costumed
celebration it is today. Pumpkins have replaced
turnips. Treats are given to kids and not ghosts.
The Church Christianized this feast of the dead
in the 9th century, just as the pagan feast of the
saturnalia was Christianized as the celebration of
Christmas from December 25 through January 6.
This was a way of helping the Christians who
spread so rapidly to pray and to understand and
celebrate the faith. So, on November 1 we have
All Saints Day. The night before was called All
Hallows Eve, whose contraction is Hallowe'en.
The purpose was and is honoring the Saints:
those faithful departed who are in Heaven beholding God face to face (the Beatific Vision).
The Halloween tradition is harmless unless it is
used not for fun, but to glorify evil.
This Saturday is November 1 when we commemorate the victory of our brothers and sisters
in Heaven. We recognize not just the popular
Saints like St. Simon and St. Jude whose feast
day is October 28. But we also honor those who
lead ordinary lives on earth, living according to
faith. Many of them are our own relatives. We
