From Darkness to Light: The Two Halloweens

Of all the Holidays celebrated in today’s world, few are as popular or as misunderstood as Halloween. For some the word Halloween evokes warm childhood memories with friends and family, Dressing in costumes and eating way too much candy. For others the word Halloween is synonymous with Pure Evil. It is a day of High Witchcraft and Satanic practices. A day of secret pagan customs being loosed on the world…. Hiding in plain sight! But why are the perceptions of Halloween so incredibly divided between good and evil, between darkness and light! Perhaps it is because the ancient Church and the modern Church have gone to such great lengths to make this day acceptable to Christians. In an attempt to purify Halloween we now more frequently hear the politically correct title of “Harvest Festival”.  One conservative Christian group has even gone so far as to institute “Jesus Ween”. But will adding the name of our Lord and Savior to Holiday of such an infamous legacy be enough to counter the evil of its origins? Join us today for another edition of “From Darkness to Light” as we examine the Satanic origins of Halloween and the Church’s misguided efforts to reconcile it.
