Back in the Early Middle Ages, Medieval Europe was under control by the monarchies, nobels, elitists, clergies and The Pope, who is the head the of Roman Catholic Church from Rome. Over the time there were some Pagans [[ like the Celts, Picts and Irish) Celebrated "All Hallow's Eve." According to the Celtics, in order to welcome the Celtic New Year which is November 1st, they must chase and fool Samhaim, the Celtic demon of the underworld and representation of the summer's end and beginning of darker times by putting in shaggy costumes and lighting up bonfires and honor the innocent dead. When the Papalcy of The Roman Catholic Church saw this ritual, they immdiately put an end it and install "All Saints Day" on November 1st to honor dead saints from St. Matthew to future patriot saints who did the Lord's work. However that plan slowly failed when the reformation movement can in during the Rennaisance Era. Later Halloween was developed by adding more international ancient mythological characters combining with modern media's vertically and horizontally intergrated synergized products. Basically its kids putting on costumes, doing petty pranks, starting parties, consulting witchcraft and honoring their dead loved ones. Even some Christians are having Halloween celebrations in their churches. It becomes very debatable due to its ties from pagan beliefs. Other Christians and their churches don't celebrate Halloween because its is writting the Holy Bible that God's People should not engage in the dark arts and other Satanic practices.
What do you think? Should Christians celebrate Halloween becuase its the right and ethical thing to do or cancel it.
