ANGELIC ENCOUNTERS: The History Of Halloween

The History Of Halloween

That time will soon be here and millions upon millions of children will celebrate Halloween. So what is this holiday and celebration all about? Is it simply fun, costumes, candy and children going from door to door? Or is there something else behind the holiday and celebration of Halloween? What is the History of Halloween?

As kids growing up, both I and my sister celebrated Halloween. Dressing up, the costumes, the trick or treat lanterns and yes, the candy was all a part of the celebration. It was fun and as with all children, we eagerly awaited that day.

Many years passed and when I became a Christian I did extensive studies online about Halloween and was quite shocked at what I found and read. I'm not going to go into details, other than to provide our readers with some links that will lead you to some informative sites about the history of Halloween like The Bible & Halloween. As Christian's and Christian parents, we must individually decide whether we should allow our children to participate in Halloween. Should Christians Celebrate Halloween

Worship God

Christ is Lord!

As we learn about the angels of God, the angelic, and the manifestations of the Kingdom of God in our lives and here on earth.

We learn, experience and encounter as members of the body of Christ, being born again, through faith in Christ. For no one can see or enter into the Kingdom of Heaven unless he / she is born again, as Jesus and the scriptures state.

However we do not seek to worship angels, or the angelic.
