Description
Halloween's true origins trace back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was transformed by early Christians into All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints Day. Rather than being anti-Christian, Halloween was actually created by the church to honor the saints who have gone before us. The original Celtic tradition involved communities gathering around fires to remember loved ones who had died, taking home embers to light their homes through winter. This beautiful practice of remembrance aligns perfectly with the biblical concept of being surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who encourage us in our faith journey.
