Halloween A Christian Celebration

Halloween or All Hallows Eve means “The Evening before all Saints Day” which is a Christian feast day celebrating the saints. The Celebration originated in the English speaking world and incorporates many Celtic customs. In the American melting pot, other cultural influences were added making it into the holiday it is today.

However the meaning of the celebration has been lost due to religious differences and secular culture so join me in reclaiming what was originally intended to be a hallowed or holy celebration by once again, making the saints the focus of Halloween
