Witches, ghosts, corpses, spirits, monsters and
devils—these are the main costumes that
both children and adults alike put on to
celebrate Halloween during the months
of October and November.

This tradition is steadily spreading to other countries.  It's not unusual to find schools planning parties or nightclubs promoting a “witches' night” during this time of year, during which friends gather and children of all ages dress up as something scary and wander door-to-door through the neighborhood saying “trick or treat,” in search of something sweet or other small gifts.



Its origins and real consequences

Halloween began as a European tradition and is attributed to the Celtic peoples who lived in England, Ireland and northern France.  They celebrated their last day of the year, October 31, with the festival of Shamain, also know as the “Lord of the Dead”.  They believed that Shamain allowed the spirits of the dead to return to their earthly homes on this night, and so imagined that demons, ghosts, witches, black cats and goblins wandered all over.

The priests of these people, the Druids (who were Satanists who worshipped and served the lord of the dead) lit huge bonfires on the hilltops on this day and ordered their followers to do the same in their homes.

On the hills they dressed up in the skins and heads of animals, offering animal, crop and human sacrifices and used the remains to predict their luck for the coming year.

The Druids obtained the humans used in their sacrifices by going house-to-house among the people asking for a child or a virgin to burn in the bonfire.  If the family agreed to supply someone to sacrifice, the priests left behind a fruit with a candle illuminated inside, which was supposed to prevent demons from entering and killing whoever lived there.  The Druids considered this a pact, and if the family refused their demands, they then marked the door of the home, giving Satan free reign to destroy them, which they referred to as their scheme.  They considered this to be the ideal time to appease the supernatural powers, which they believed to dominate nature.  They also believed that this was the best time in the whole year for practicing sorcery and witchcraft.  

Anton Lavey, author of the Satanic Bible, says that it's on this night when satanic powers and witchcraft experience their highest level of potency.

The dates related to satanic celebrations are:

February 2
March 22
April 13
June 22
August 1
September 21
October 31
December 22

How the tradition began

Due to the fact that the Romans ruled over the Celts for 400 years, their festivals gradually fused together, providing the Romans with two late fall festivals: One dedicated to the dead, and the other to the god of trees and fruit.

The Celtic tradition gained in popularity during the 8 th century, when the Roman Church established the first day of November as the Day of All the Saints, or All Hallows Day. The Shaman Festival was held the night before, which came to be known as All Hallows Eve, or the Night of All the Saints.
The name “Halloween” is believed to have been derived from that and now refers to the present-day custom.

The Word of God says:

“ Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter
in [ 1 ] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens,
engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium
or spiritualist or who consults the dead.
Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD”.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NIV)

“And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed
my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards
of the nations around you".
Ezekiel 11:12 (NIV)

Don't believe that Halloween is an innocent celebration that you can allow your children to participate in without running a risk.  BE CAREFUL! It would be better if you got together with your family for a time of praise and worship and reading from the Word of God.

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men
to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth”.

1 Timothy 2: 3-4



Worshipping the dead, offerings, food…?

The traditions and customs behind this so-called “entertainment based in the roots of our ancestors that should be kept,” or national folklore, does no more than enslave its practitioners in a world of darkness belonging to Satan in which they risk a serious danger to their spiritual lives.

The Bible declares that God is the God of the Living and not of the Dead (Mathew 22:32), and that Jesus came to bring life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10).  If anyone identifies him or herself with death and glorifies it, it's because that person doesn't understand TRUE LIFE or is confusing the light with the darkness.  We Christians do not worship death nor the dead, but only God.
The custom of “bringing offerings” and “taking food to the graveyards” is clearly prohibited by the Word of God. Deuteronomy 26:14 says:

“I have not eaten any of the sacred portion
while I was in mourning,
nor have I removed any of it while I was
unclean, nor have I offered any of it to
the dead . I have obeyed the LORD my God;
I have done everything you commanded me”.
(NIV, emphasis added).

The old idea that on the night of All Saints Day the dead come out to taste the delicacies that they enjoyed in life is an ancient and diabolical belief.  Do you believe that the dead have an appetite for these “graveyard picnics” or teeth to chew the little skulls made of sugar? Do they have a digestive system to be able to digest the “offering?” The proof that the dead cannot eat them is in the fact that the “living” are those who eat them and try to digest these offerings, which are made, NOT to the dead, but in reality to demons.  The Bible states in Hebrews 9:27 that “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”  The dead do not return to this Earth (Leviticus 17:7; 1 Corinthians 10:20).

For this reason there is no acceptable worship, nor offerings or food given to the dead, since these practices do not glorify the Lord.  For further enlightenment, we suggest that you read and meditate on the following scriptures:

Deuteronomy 18:9-14
Job 7:7-10; 10:20-22
Psalms 88:10-12; 106:28-29
Ecclesiastes 9:4-5
Luke 16:19-31; 20:38
1 Corinthians 10:20-22; 15:13-14
