Halloween and Christianity

Some may say that Halloween isn't a Christian holiday.  I can see their point, with witches, goblins, devils, skeletons and the like running around haunted houses. But
Halloween most certainly is a Christian Holiday.  The definition of Halloween is literally "Hallowed evening" or "holy evening".  It marks the beginning of a feast dedicated
to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and all the faithful departed Christian believers. 

The next time you see a Jack-O-Lantern, think of how being a Christian is just like carving that pumpkin.  God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.  He opens
you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff - including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.  Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see!
