October is one of my favorite times of the year! The air is crisper, leaves change, and the lead-up to Halloween. I’ve celebrated Halloween my whole life and enjoyed every moment I got to dress up and be with my friends. As I got older and went into my faith, I began researching the origins of Halloween. 

As I dug deeper into the history and how it began, I realized how it traced back to the Celtic festival in Samhain. It was a tradition held at the end of summer when sacrifices were made to the gods in Druid tradition. Halloween never involved wearing costumes, it was rather a solemn event focused on prayer and meditation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Feeling the disconnect between the celebration of Halloween and maintaining our faith

• What are the true origins of Halloween?

• Does Halloween still hold the same meaning as its origins compared to how we celebrate it today? 

• Why we wear costumes on Halloween

• How religious families should approach celebrating Halloween

• The significance of Oct 31
