In Defense of Halloween (I’m coming for you!)

For as bats’ eyes are to daylight so is our intellectual eye to those truths which are, in their own nature, the most obvious of all.  –Aristotle, Metaphysics.

Halloween needs a proper defense. Unfortunately, I haven’t the time nor the faculties for the exercise and yet; having perceived the numerous malefactors standing against this cherished holiday, I’ve decided to provide what I can and hope that my writings help in a small way.

Most agree that the origins of Halloween traditions are vague and in many cases, beyond the historian’s ability to recover.  The carving of Jack’o'lanterns, for instance, is an act lost in the fog of time, leaving us with only theories and generalizations about its origins.*  The same could be said about Trick or Treating.

One thing is certain, at least among the culture and people with whom I’m most familiar, Halloween is a day that is closely associated with evil.  This causes unfortunate reactions from all factions in the community, ranging from outrage among the pious Christians to elation among the pagans (who dance naked around bonfires at any opportunity!)

I’ve found the most overt opposition arising from Christians.  It is especially frustrating to deal with those peculiar Protestants who hold to the Regulative Principle of Worship and only celebrate the holidays and events which the Bible explicitly mentions.  (These brethren do not even celebrate Christmas and come December, I expect to confront them again.)  The bulk of my article will deal with these.

On the other hand, Halloween, as I’ll seek to defend it, is different from the modern and subtle perversion made of it by the pagans and sex-crazed, humanistic youths.  So, I’ll briefly address this ideal as well.

My memories stand in contrast to both extremes.  It is not my interest to defend sinful notions (as the pagans do) nor is it my intent to silence the organic outgrowth of the small-town, agrarian celebration by harping on a dry, doctrinal point (as our Regulative brethren would).

No, Halloween brings to my mind all the brilliant colors and smells of an autumn afternoon: the taste of pumpkin pie, the rough and bumpy hide of a gourd, the sweet flavor of hay in every breath and the exciting horizon of color one experiences in the sweeping landscape!  It’s an autumn evening filled with adrenaline and the height of adventure, where all that is good and holy among the people face the evil, alien dark of nature and arise (along with the sun on All Saints morning) victorious!  Reigning forever with Christ over evil!

Though my young mind couldn’t articulate it, I had grasped the true meaning of Halloween.  The meaning of it was never explained by anyone.  We didn’t have to explain it!  It floated around in the air like the ghost effigies hanging in everyone’s yards!

Halloween is the day that we celebrate the progressive sanctification of our entire community!  The progression of God’s kingdom and authority throughout the physical world at the expense of the ghosts and goblins lurking in the myriad of dark recesses yet unexposed!

James Jordan clarifies:

The Festival of All Saints reminds us that though Jesus has finished His work, we have not finished ours. He has struck the decisive blow, but we have the privilege of working in the mopping up operation. Thus, century by century the Christian faith has rolled back the demonic realm of ignorance, fear, and superstition. Though things look bad in the Western world today, this work continues to make progress in Asia and Africa and Latin America.
The Biblical day begins in the preceding evening, and thus in the Church calendar, the eve of a day is the actual beginning of the festive day. Christmas Eve is most familiar to us, but there is also the Vigil of Holy Saturday that precedes Easter Morn. Similarly, All Saints’ Eve precedes All Saints’ Day.
The concept, as dramatized in Christian custom, is quite simple: On October 31, the demonic realm tries one last time to achieve victory, but is banished by the joy of the Kingdom.
What is the means by which the demonic realm is vanquished? In a word: mockery. Satan’s great sin (and our great sin) is pride. Thus, to drive Satan from us we ridicule him. This is why the custom arose of portraying Satan in a ridiculous red suit with horns and a tail. Nobody thinks the devil really looks like this; the Bible teaches that he is the fallen Arch-Cherub. Rather, the idea is to ridicule him because he has lost the battle with Jesus and he no longer has power over us. – (See original article here.)

Four Fun Facts You Didn't Know About Halloween

What exactly is Halloween? For many, it is merely a reason to dress up and be someone else for a night. For kids, it's a chance to collect loads of free candies and chocolates. For business people, it's an annual money-making machine. In truth, Halloween is basically a holiday so mixed up with historical facts that people perceive it as a night when you wear a costume and be whoever you want to be. This is rather fitting, considering that historically, this holiday has had a similar identity crisis. Below are four important things you most likely didn't know about Halloween.

Trick or Treat

Trick or treat as a Halloween-related activity can be traced back to Samhain celebrations as early as 2000 years ago. The Celts (clan of people from England, Ireland, France) believed that on October 31, the Lord of Death (Saman), would call together all the souls that had died the previous year in order for them to travel to the afterlife. As part of their activities around this time, the Celts would offer food to Saman in order to persuade him to more be temperate when he is judging their ancestors. This is seen as a precursor to what we now seen in modern day Halloween celebrations as "trick or treating", as the villagers would be offering food to other villagers (beggars). Over time, this however changed, and the Villagers' children became the beggars, going from house to house to receive fruit, baked products and money.

The modern day trick or treat - today, trick or treating is an activity that's usually reserved for children; they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as sweets, chocolates and snacks and asking the question, "Trick or treat?". The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner or his property if no treat is handed over. Trick or treating is now said to be the most popular and socially expected aspect of Halloween celebrations.

The trick or treat activity is extremely popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada. It is also spreading quickly to other countries due to the impact and influence of American culture on these societies.

5 Spooky Truths About Halloween You May Not Be Aware Of !

We all know what goes in the Halloween celebrations: costumes, candies,. decorations, fancy parties, etc. However, do you know that just like many other festivals, Halloween too has a tradition of its own which is completely different than how it is celebrated now? In this article I will tell you about five such spooky truths about Halloween that you may not be aware of!

1. Pumpkin was obviously not the first choice for Halloween lanterns. The Celts, who were the originators of Halloween, used to carve potatoes and turnips into scary faces so as to ward off evil spirits who roam on earth on All Hallows Eve! However, when the New World was discovered, it was found out that pumpkins were more in plenty than potatoes and turnips! So the switch was made to pumpkin!

2. The Druids used to believe a lot in spirits, so much so that they used to regard the owl as someone who is wiser than them! The reason behind this was that, since the own appeared only at night, it was thought that it had a lot of knowledge of the spirit world because the spirits usually roam on the earth at night. In fact they used to believe that Halloween was actually presided over and ruled by a Goddess who disguised herself as an owl and came to visit them every night!

3. In a way, we also owe a lot to the Druids regarding the Halloween costumes. After all, it was their idea that wearing scary dresses and masks would scare away evil spirits who visit the earth in order to spell trouble on the living human beings! The Druids would wear frightening costumes and masks and dance around the fire so as to scare way those evil spirits! That was how it was all born. The idea of dressing oneself as ghost or ghoul was however, the contribution of the Irish and Scottish!

4. In early days, the Celts used to light bonfires in order to invite the good spirits to stop by them and warm themselves before the frosty winter set in. That was how candles were born. This is the reason why you light a candle inside the jack-o-lantern: so as to encourage good and protective guests to stop by your house!

5. The Celts used to believe that the full moon that appears in autumn is a symbol of good luck, as it was supposed to bring in good harvest. Hence they used to call this moon 'harvest moon'. In autumn that moon usually looks bigger and appears orange in color, which is why we use orange lights on the eve of Halloween!

Interesting Facts about Halloween !

Halloween, Hallowe'en, or Holloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.

To me the whole idea of Halloween seems to be very interesting, the idea as such is on of the craziest idea ever imagined. But I consider this autumn night to be one of the enjoyable holidays of the year. The reason why I find this holiday to be the most enjoyable holiday is not because of the candy perhaps it could also be one of the reason, but the main reason which strikes me is that the whole fun to see everyone dressed in weird costumes. We finally get a chance to celebrate the other spookier side of our life. Bats, vampires, and all the traditional elements create a night which has both the mood of fright as well as laughter. The entire atmosphere of that night is an inexpressible event and the way the kids go for trick or treat, collecting their desired sweets and the adults can throw a party any moment. The entire experience of being extremely crazy to the core.What could be better than this.

THE DIFFERENT NAMES
Another fascinating thing about Halloween is the different names with which it is referred to. There is an alternative spelling with which it is referred to Hallowe’en looks different but exciting yet. Another popular way in which it is referred by the saints is Samhain Pronounced as Sow-in.
In some parts of Ireland they call the celebration as Oiche Shamhna and in some other parts it is referred to as Pooky night. This Pooky night, is referred because it is kept after the name of a mischievous spirits called as puca.
An ethnic group of Britain referred as Celts calls the night as Allantide.

In Mexico it is not a long established tradition. However the kids have started the tradition of trick or treat and they have parties with exciting themes for the older crowd.
