Should Christians celebrate Halloween?

Editor: October 31 has long been known as “the festival of the dead.” In occult and witchcraft circles, October 31 represents a day of worship called Samhain (pronounced Sa-win). This is the Celtic New Year.

History tells us that the Celtic people were worshippers of earth gods, woodland spirits and sun deities. One legend explains that on Samhain, the spirits of all those who had died throughout the year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. {{more}}It was believed to be their only hope for entering the

afterlife. It was also the day that the living were to communicate with the dead. This practice is called necromancy. Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us that YAHUVEH God considers this practice evil. We see examples of necromancy portrayed in movies like The Sixth Sense, Lion King and Ghost, to name a few. Regardless of where or how the ritual practice started, one thing is certain. YAHUVEH GOD forbids contacting any spirit unless it’s the RUACH HAKODESH (Holy Spirit) !

Halloween today is performed usually by adherents of witchcraft, who use the night for the rituals. Witches celebrate Halloween as the feast of Samhain, the first feast of the witchcraft year being a festival of the dead. Halloween is a time when witches attempt to communicate with the dead.

The word Halloween actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It came from the words All Hallows Eve, All Hallows Day or All Saints Day. This day was set aside to honour saints; though perhaps well-intentioned, trying to Christianize pagan practices can never be pleasing to YAHUVEH, and Halloween may be the most vivid example of this (Hebrews 9:27).

1. Human sacrifice 2. Divination/fortune telling 3. Observing of times (astrology) 4. Enchanting (using chants to cast spells) 5. Witchcraft 6. Charming wizardry/magic sorcery.

What should I do with those things in my life that are associated with witchcraft or other form of occult? Follow Acts 19:18, which states: So, should a Christian be involved with the pagan holiday of Halloween? No NO NO. Ephesians:

5-11 says: And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Not only should a Christian not partake in evil; WE ARE TO EXPOSE IT!
