Halloween-Devil's Holiday???


Guest

401 views

This morning, on our walk to school, I asked one of my Daughter's friends, if she was going trick-or-treating tonight. She looked at me with big eyes and said,"No, DEVIL!"

 

 

I had forgotten all about some beliefs on Halloween. I had some cousins growing up who were taught the same.

How did the Halloween tradition turn into a taboo subject?

Just curious.

Amy,

 

I think it's sad that Halloween has been twisted into something evil and anti-religious in the past decade or so. However, it's not exactly a new concept. I remember trick-or-treating back in the '40s and there was one house that always handed out religious tracts condemming Halloween instead of handing out candy. Of course, the older we got the smarter we got and we'd just skip that house.
