Halloween.

 

The annual ghoul show has arrived.

Goblins, ghosts, wizards, witches, warlocks, fiends and zombies will be out in force tonight on the hunt for candy, chocolate and all things goo.

While the parade goes on, none will stop to ask: "What is the history of Halloween and why the name?"

That would be too much for a consumer driven, occult obsessed generation to ask.
Nor would parents be concerned enough to provide such an answer to the legion of kids on the prowl with their treat sacks.

That their candy-fest could ever be connected to the glorious resurrection of the saints would be too much of a stretch for mind or faith.

But that's what it is all about folks. Halloween (Hallowed evening) is the prelude to the victorious resurrection of the saints and the appearing of Christ. 


That's why they call it "All Saints Day."


"For lo there breaks a yet more glorious day.
The saints triumphant rise in bright array.
The King of Glory passes on His way.
Allelujah! Allelujah! "


You can count me in on that parade!
