I am so tired of hearing about how "evil" Halloween is! It is not an evil holiday. The social media and those in Hollywood want you to think that it is evil. But actually Halloween has it's roots in Christianity. Trick or treating were people going door to door but in exchange for food they would preach a little for people and dressing up in costumes was top dress up in something that we feared and as a result we would be making it less scary.
Some countries would carve a turnip on Halloween but natives here used the pumpkin as it was bigger and easier to cut.
Halloween is also a day to remember loved ones who have past away during the year, for those who have crops it is a symbol for the end of the harvesting season until next year. it is tradition to go to bonfires and carnivals and such but Halloween actually means " Holy Day"
But over the years Christians have turned it into some kind of evil ritual to try to bring about Satan and some people actually do that but not everyone.
One religion that people accuse the most of doing that very thing are pagans, which is funny to me because I have studied paganism for about a year now and they do not even believe in the devil so how can it be a ritual of theirs? The Christian Satan that everyone fears is actually termed from the pagan god Pan. He has been deemed evil by Constantine years ago and that is where we get our Satan from. almost everything Christianity stands for comes from pagan roots. Constantine wanted everyone to follow his new religion so he came up with all these stories and lies about paganism being evil and how they are Satan worshippers and everything.
If you do not believe me then look up Christian and pagan holidays, why are they so close together and so similar as far as what each practice on that day? look up the story of when Jesus died and rose three days later and look up the pagan version. There is a video of it on YouTube. If these religions weren't so similar then why does every person who is Christian try to change you? why would they work so hard to say that paganism is evil? also why would the government be trying to ban Halloween if they didn't fear anything about it?
Look it up and let me know what you think.
