And it\u2019s about time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This strange holiday comes from the religious and pagan traditions of two countries that merged into a national event in a new country. We might say it started in Rome before the time of Christ. In 27 B.C., Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, aid to Caesar Augustus, built a temple in Rome to the gods called the Pantheon (\u2018\u2018all the gods\u2019\u2019). When Constantine ordered the Romans to become Christians in A.D. 313, the pagan systems of the old empire slowly took on Christian names and forms. The Pantheon remained a symbol of that dark past until A.D. 610 when its name was changed to the Santa Maria Rotunda (from which we get the shape of modern rotundas such as our capital buildings and White House) and November 1st chosen as a day when \u2018\u2018all saints\u2019\u2019 would be remembered rather than \u2018\u2018all the gods.\u2019\u2019 This converted pagan holiday was now called \u2018\u2018All Hallows\u2019 (saints) Day.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All Saints\u2019 Day was practiced by the English church as well, where, in the tenth century, it found a strange mix. The ancient Celtic empire (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) had long been led in pagan worship by the Druids, the priests of Bel. Their two holiest days were May 1st, the celebration of Beltane (\u2018\u2018fires of Bel\u2019\u2019), and November 1st, the celebration of Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Samhain was also the end of harvest with its ingathering of grains. The Druids, however, celebrated much more than grain. They also celebrated the dying of the summer sun with festivals to placate the Lord of Death.\u00a0 At this time they believed the spirits of the dead were released on the night before November 1st (October 31st) to roam about the world. The Druids built huge fires on the hilltops (Stonehenge was one such site) to warm the spirits and even made human and animal sacrifices in these fires (the derivation of \u2018\u2018bonfire\u2019\u2019 is \u2018\u2018bone-fire\u2019\u2019 due to the bones of people left behind).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the English church was trying to celebrate \u2018\u2018All Hallows\u2019 Day\u2019\u2019 at this time, October 31st was simply called \u2018\u2018Hallows\u2019 Eve\u2019\u2019 or \u2018\u2018Halloween,\u2019\u2019 but it was pagan from the beginning. The Druids released spirits and demons on this night to terrorize Christians who were at home preparing for \u2018\u2018Hallows\u2019 Day.\u2019\u2019 Witches (women who had sold themselves to the devil) were believed to have flown about on broomsticks and danced with imps around the fires as the devil played on bagpipes made from dead men\u2019s bones. Christians were known to place crossed branches of ash and juniper at the stable doors to keep the spirits from stealing animals for sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In America, Halloween was only scarcely known until 1845-46 when the massive Irish immigration took place. Bringing a milder form of the Druid rite with them, these immigrants eventually established a national event. The Celtic influence in this country only occasionally saw outbreaks of witchcraft (for which they got a taste of their own fiery medicine). For over a hundred years children innocently (seemingly) dressed up as spirit creatures and went to the houses of their Christian neighbors with a simple request: \u2018\u2018trick or treat.\u2019\u2019 All seemed like fun and games. We were a Christian country and put no stock in superstitions.\u00a0\u00a0 As one reference book put it, \u2018\u2018Thus the basic Celtic quality of the festival as an evening of annual escape from normal realities and expectations has remained into the twentieth century.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dealing with the pagan customs of Halloween is not a new exercise for believers in America. Volumes have been written on the pagan sources of many holidays. We know that the mother-son worship at Babel of Semerimus and Tammuz can be traced to Phoenicia (Ashteroth and Baal), Egypt (Isis and Horus), Greece (Aphrodite and Eros) and to Rome (Venus and Cupid). We know that the old English name \u2018\u2018Easter\u2019\u2019 is from the feast of Ishtar, the \u2018\u2018Queen of Heaven\u2019\u2019 (see Jer 44:17-19) and that Herod, no doubt, was thinking of that rather than Passover in Acts 12:4.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Easter Bunny was associated with Easter because the Romans believed Venus fell from heaven and landed in the Euphrates river, was pushed out onto the bank by fish and was hatched out of an egg by bunnies. Christmas trees were first used to worship Tammuz when he was brought back to life on December 25. Birthday cakes were then baked to worship him on his \u2018\u2018birthday\u2019\u2019 (see Jer 44:19) which was the celebration of the winter solstice or the resurrection of the sun. Fireworks were originally part of the Druid celebration of the Summer solstice or the dying of the sun. On and on the pagan accounts go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what is a Christian to do? I don\u2019t advocate that we do away with birthday cakes or Christmas trees unless they begin to encroach upon true faith and belief. Old religious nonsense often becomes harmless national custom. If, however, old religious nonsense begins to be resurrected as religion and not custom, the people of God will have to separate. It may be that we are watching the revival of occultism associated with Halloween being resurrected in our country now. Besides, when did we ever not believe that witches and demons are real?\u00a0 On October 31, 1993, there may be as many people worshipping the Lord of Death through witchcraft and sorcery as there will be worshipping the Lord of Glory in Sunday morning services.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think that we need to amuse the enemy by playing at his altar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018\u2018Knock knock.\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2018Who\u2019s there?\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2018Trick or treat.\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2018What?\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2018Give us something we want or we\u2019ll play a trick on you.\u2019\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 Why is it that that little greeting doesn\u2019t seem as innocent as it once did?\u00a0\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t that long ago that no one cared that Halloween is one of the eight Sabbats of the WICCA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[153,145],"class_list":["post-1126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-art","tag-holidays"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>All Hallows&#039;
