Just the other day I was listening to a radio host talk about the meaning of Halloween.
In light of the fact that my office overlooks a selection of bars where I can see people having way too much to drink, along with girls in outfits that don’t really celebrate the true meaning of the holiday (and to be honest I’m not complaining), I thought I’d remind y’all about the true meaning of this holiday – also some of my facts came from a cab driver I had a lively discussion with.
Halloween was designed as a way to celebrate the dead and the return of their spirits on what was the Celtic New Year. It should be noted that Halloween is actually a Catholic holiday and that November 1st is also known as All-Saints-Day.
There are quite a few holy days that fall during the upcoming week. However, different religions mark Halloween through different customs – most of these religions are differing versions of Christianity mind you.
More research can be done on that at your own leisure, after all this blog doesn’t intend to properly inform you.
Hope you had a good night.
A look at Halloween
