[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 248496, member: 1664"] Halloween was a pagan holiday, but it wasn't called that. It was the midpoint between the solstices.The catholic church turned it into All Hallowed Eve and declared the next day as All Saints Day. Christmas was placed in December to match the pagan winter solstice festival. Easter is a movable feast. Every year it is on a different day. Most christians can not tell you why. Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs after the spring equinox. Another pagan holiday. So, back to the thread. Halloween should be fun.and not linked to religion. In the area I live in, the Baptist churches have a sort of party on Halloween to entertain the kids. They believe Halloween is a form of devil worship and should not be celebrated. I enjoy watching the kids trick or treating,while I deliver my in-town residentials. As a child I enjoyed Halloween as much as Christmas morning. PAX [/QUOTE]
