Well, it’s been a while, but I’m back and armed with the first installment of my brand new #HalloweenExposed series! For the past few years, I’ve shared various blog posts and series showing you guys what Halloween is REALLY about. But this year, I decided to put on my instructor cap and teach you guys what it’s about!
Autumn is my most favourite time of year. The temperatures drop, the leaves turn brilliant colours, candy apples start appearing, everything turns to pumpkin spice, and eventually, my birthday! (Can’t forget Thanksgiving either!) It’s a season of definite transition. However, as much as I love this season, it is also the time for Halloween, known to the Ancient Celts as Samhain (pronounced sah-win or sow-in).
This main contents of this installment of my History of Halloween Series hails from NewGrange.com. For the four previous posts of this installment as well as others on Halloween, see here. We’ve discussed various symbols of Halloween, originally called “Samhain” (pronounced “sow-in”), but now we will discuss the celebration itself.
Well, it’s almost that time again! Time for witches and wizards; spiders and webs; goblins, ghouls, ghosts, oh my! Halloween decor almost seems like it’s everywhere present. But should Christians even celebrate Halloween? Let’s start with the history to build our case.
Well, it's that time of year again: my most favourite season of the year, paired with the most hateful day of the year: HALLOWEEN. I was going to put this post off until later in the year, but based on some recent Facebook discussions, I figured it was best to start now--before you go out and buy your innocent children their costumes. I'll do a separate written post soon, but I think this series of videos and documentaries will help to prime you for the forthcoming post(s).
