Some Ladie in Oak Lawn IL, banning Halloween.
Do you thing it’s right?
how can someone ban a holiday?
You may know that public schools can’t teach religion, so Halloween is about the Saint. Crismas is about St. Nicholas.
Halloween isn’t about any saint. It was originally a Celtic/pagan sacred day called Samhain. It only became “All Hallows Eve” and “All Saints Day” when the Christian church appropriated it. But the way Halloween is generally celebrated today doesn’t really reflect the traditions of any religion. For most it’s just a night of fun...a time to dress up, have a party, etc.
Also, in the Christian tradition Christmas isn’t “about St. Nicholas”. It’s supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Christ. In the pagan tradition it’s Yule...and it’s a celebration of the return of the light.
