What YOU Should Know About Halloween???

Brief history:

HALLOWEEN is one of the STRANGEST day of the year.
Parents dress their children as:
witches, ghosts, goblins, skeletons, demons
jack-o-lanterns, asking for
candy, and goodies..
TRICK OR TREAT...

HALLOWEEN's ORIGIN:
It was the Roman Catholic Church that set
October 31, as the date for Halloween and
called it ‘ ALL HOLLOW’s EVE,
as a prelude to ‘All Saints Day’ on Nov. 1st.

Before the Catholic Church adopted it-
it was A PAGAN, HEATHEN holiday!!!

Halloween can be traced to pre-Christian times.
The earliest Halloween celebrations were held
by the DRUIDS' in honor of Samhain,
lord of the dead, which was Nov.1.

Who were the DRUIDS? Group of soothsayers,
and satanic priests.
YES, SATANIC PRIESTS..
They celebrated by:
Baptizing a cat, burning a Bible,
feeding a dog The Lords’ Supper(communion)
To MOCK GOD..(as demons do!!!)
It's more than just fun, it's serious..!!

TRICK OR TREAT was added
in Ireland couple hundred yrs. ago..

JACK-O-LANTERN is :
a ancient symbol of damned soul.
It was named after a man named Jack
who was suppose to( an old fable)
NOT be able to enter heaven or hell.
So, he was doomed to wander in darkness until
Judgment Day.whenever that was to be..
(What a story, and old fable originating
from demonic worshipers..)

NOTE: You know that this untrue!!
It either heaven or hell!!
That's your choice, too..

Next,history has it that the
Roman Catholic Church and
Emperor Constantine had a chance to
stop Halloween but chose NOT to
because of threat of losing members(some pagans)
They choose NOT to rock the boat and
lose members..So, NOTHING was done.
And the tradition continued and
Continues TODAY..

SOUND FAMILIAR TO TODAY times??

Not doing anything because we're are afraid
of rocking the boat and maybe
losing votes or members or too concerned of
' What other people will say or think'..

And we wonder why:
Children are killing children in schools,
Snipers are killing people at random,
World Trade Center bombing and terrorism..
There are spirits of demons!!!
They are real but you through Jesus
has VICTORY over them..YES you do!!

Should a CHRISTIAN celebrate Halloween??
NO...NO..NO..
