My Korean coworker just asked me why do churches in america celebrate Halloween

I told him I’ve literally been asking that question my entire life lmao 🤣 I thought I was the only one who it registered

actually Halloween is based on the Catholic celebration “All Saints Day” .
very similar to what Mardi Gras is to Lent.

It’s just another pagan holiday that Christianity tried to spin in order to make non Christians trust the new religion at the time. In fact even the pagan holiday it’s assumed to have been derived from has no relation to its current form as it was a Celtic harvest festival. And even the holiday Christians turned it into has no relation to its current iteration. It was meant to remember the dead kind of like the day of the dead in some Latin cultures.

@DeluxedEdition Here you can always find at least one granny or grandpa who huffs and puffs how disgraceful it is to celebrate Halloween instead of All Souls Day every year. 😂

I thought it was 1 Nov that churches celebrated as All Saints Day.

@wildbill83 yeah, I don’t believe in catholic beliefs. their beliefs directly contradict the Bible. Who is self proclaimed important enough that they need to relay messages between god and I? Don’t worship idols but worship Mary and rosary and do weird satanic like rituals and attend a completely red church because it resembles the blood

It doesn’t sit right with my spirit at all
