Embrace Halloween’s Christian Roots – St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church

Halloween should not be a day when our churches go dark and Christians retreat into the shadows, but when we fill the darkness with Christ’s light and go out into the culture, inviting everyone to the prepare for the festival of the saints with all the joy we can muster.

Dear brother and sisters in Christ:

As we near All Hallows Eve, a.k.a. Halloween, I usually get asked some questions and Halloween, a.k.a. All Hallows’ Eve, and its Christian roots and celebration.

Fr. Steve Grunow, from Word on Fire, has some excellent answers to these common questions and he responded with everything you ever wanted to know about Halloween and its deeply Catholic roots.

(Fr. Grunow’s interview was originally published on October 31, 2019.)

Faithfully yours,
Father Rick Gregory
