is it rude to dress up as Jesus for Halloween ?

Answer 1

nope, just as long as you can walk on water.

Answer 2

No. But it'd be better if you dressed up as a saint, since Halloween is actually All Hallows Eve (i.e., All Saints Eve, the day right before All Saints Day).

Halloween Making Way for "White Feast"

Initiative Aims to Restore Original Meaning of Event

SANTIAGO, Chile, OCT. 26, 2006 (Zenit.org).- A 6-year-old initiative to change Halloween from a night of fright into a celebration of joy and hope is gaining ground in Chile.

The "White Feast of All Saints," the night of Oct. 31, is growing in popularity in families, parishes and communities, and especially in schools, according to the Chilean bishops' conference.

The initiative, the idea of José Miguel Carafí, has children dress up in costumes and express, with entertainment, their gratitude to the families that give them sweets.

Leaflets and suggestions for activities for the occasion have already been distributed to all of Chile's education vicariates so that in turn they are made available to educational establishments, kindergartens and parishes that request them.

Positive elements are being retained, such as costumes and sweets for children. But customs that glorify death and darkness have been replaced by those that promote joy and life.

Thus, far from opposing Halloween, there is a return to the original meaning of this date, the eve of All Saints Day, said the episcopal conference.

Under the program, children are taught that they must give of themselves to achieve their objectives, that it is better to show respect than to scare people. Above all they are being taught that positive and constructive values must always prevail, such as life, love, peace, joy and selflessness.

The children will wear costumes that give a positive message, and go out into the streets with an adult or responsible youth, to collect sweets. They will only call at houses with a white mark of some sort on their doors or fences, thus indicating that they want to take part in the celebration.

To receive sweets, the children must give a "grace" in exchange, which can be a drawing, a joke, a prayer, a flower, a card, etc. When calling at a home they must say: "Sweets for graces."

Answer 3

Its a cool thing to dress as Jesus for Halloween.
Hmmmm WWJD?
I don't think Jesus would dress as Jesus for Halloween though.

Answer 4

Sorry, but that'a a no-no. Halloween is a pagan ritual, and is totally un-Christian. Jesus is the LAST figure someone should go as. Very bad taste, and if you went to a home to collect some goodies, you would probably bring the wrath of God down upon yourself by a devout Christian, whether Protestant or Catholic.

Answer 5

This past weekend I dressed up as a Priest for two Halloween parties and being around a bunch of Catholics to my surprise no one was offended, as a matter of fact they wanted to confess, it was a hoot.

Answer 6

are YOU going to dress up as Jesus for halloween?

Answer 7

I knew a guy who dressed up as Jesus for easter.

pretty good likeness too...

Answer 8

All is fair on Halloween.

Answer 9

That would go under the blasphemous category..... So no, if you dont like religion, thats up to you, but, to mock it, as an adult, really isnt necessary..

Answer 10

I personally don't think so, but I'd be prepared for a lot of preaching, and perhaps an attempted exorcism or two! lol

Answer 11

Yeah that might be a little strange....Some Christians don't do halloween. They would be all freaked out.
