Answer 2

Halloween had its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead. The Celtic peoples, who were once found all over Europe, divided the year by four major holidays. According to their calendar, the year began on a day corresponding to November 1st on our present calendar. The date marked the beginning of winter. Since they were pastoral people, it was a time when cattle and sheep had to be moved to closer pastures and all livestock had to be secured for the winter months. Crops were harvested and stored. The date marked both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle.

This is what I celebrate:
The festival observed at this time was called Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween). It was the biggest and most significant holiday of the Celtic year. The Celts believed that at the time of Samhain, more so than any other time of the year, the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living, because at Samhain the souls of those who had died during the year traveled into the otherworld. People gathered to sacrifice animals, fruits, and vegetables.

As for my religion??.. I do not have one. The jury is still out.. I don't know.. just too many choices.

Answer 3

I don't really celebrate Halloween and I was raised in a christian family. I'm not really a christian anymore but I don't get excited about the holiday like my friends do. I also wasn't allowed to celebrate it when I was younger instead we had a harvest party with a hay ride and all that fun ****. I don't personally see anything wrong with celebrating it I can see how it would be a lot of fun and some of my brothers and sisters love to go out and get dressed up for it. I guess the reason my parents didn't like it was because they thought it was the devils holiday which to me seems pretty superstitious and silly.

Answer 4

I'm Uniting. I've never met anyone that actually celebrates Halloween. Here in Australia, it's nothing like it apparently is in America. Halloween is mainly only used by teenagers as an excuse to have a party and dress up or go around being hudlems and egging houses. Children here don't really go trick or treating and adults don't really have anything to do with it. Just teenagers, trying to find an excuse to have a good time.

Answer 5

It's basically a Germanic bash and virtually unknown outside the USA. The chain stores have been trying to promote it in Australia so they can sell cheap masks and gifts but most Australians are not having any, which says a lot for the relative good sense of Australians. Spanish woman I know here had no idea what it was about.

Answer 6

I am a Christian.

Halloween, All saints day, All hallows eve or All souls day is a festival. It was held to honor the Samhain the so called "lord of death". It was a Druidical belief that on the eve of this festival Samhain, lord of death, called together the wicked spirits that within the past 12 months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals.

It was a pagan belief that on one night of the year the souls of the dead return to their original homes, there to be entertained with food. If food and shelter were not provided, these evil spirits would cast spells and cause havoc toward those failing to fulfill their requests.

Sacrifices were offered on this night to the dead spirits because it was thought they visited their earthly dwellings and former friends.

There was a prevailing belief among all nations that at death the souls of the good men were taken possession of by good spirits and carried to paradise; but the souls of the wicked men were left to wonder in the space between the earth and the moon, or consigned to the unseen world. These wandering spirits were in the habit of haunting the living...But there were means by which ghosts might be exorcised.

To exorcise these ghosts, that is to free yourself from their evil sway, you would have to set out food and provide shelter for them during the night. If they were satisfied with your offerings, they would leave you in peace. If not, they were believed to cast an evil spell on you.

In modern day Satanism and Witchcraft covens, this is the day when Satan himself comes to "fellowship" with his followers. Many changes have occurred over the centuries, but one thing ha stayed the same, the practice of giving an "offering" has stayed the same. Oh we do it under the name of fun but what is the real meaning? Is it still the same as in the old days? I say the answer is YES.


Satan's objective to get all to worship him. God tells us to not have any thing to do with this.

Peter I 5:8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

1Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

If you are a professing Christian, you have no reason to be part of this holy day of Satan. Don't use the old cop out "well every body does it". No everybody is not doing it. God will hold you responsible for what you do this Halloween. Will you go ahead and participate in it?

Answer 7

I do not really celebrate it. You can go trick-or-treating and not be celebrating anything except having a good time.
I'm a Christian, and my family dosen't see anything wrong with it. Of course, I don't trick-or-treat anymore, but my younger siblings do, but they aren't worshiping the devil. They are dressed up like tigger and pooh, going around to houses that belong to people we know, and get candy.

Answer 8

I don't celebrate halloween in the sense of what it means to certain religions, but i enjoy dressing up and passing out candy to all of the children.

Answer 9

There is no reason to not celebrate Halloween for religious beliefs. That is not what it is for anymore - and it was never a celebration, it was a ritual to scare off evil spirits. Now we wear costumes that have nothing to do with any of that - it does not mean that anymore. No one is making a religious statement by participating, so I do not know why you would even say that. It is just American culture now. Catholics do celebrate the day after for All Saints Day

Answer 10

I'm pagan and Halloween is a Puritan holiday. The Puritans practiced a form of Christianity that believed in evil witches. On Halloween, they dressed up as witches so the 'real' witches would think their town was occupied and stay away. That way on All Saints Day, it would be peaceful so they could have a day of prayer and meditation.

Answer 11

I'm a christian and I celebrate it. Mainly because I was born on Halloween.
