Many dismiss it as just a fun, light-hearted day. Halloween, as it is colloquially known, is when people of all ages dress up and share time, tricks, and candy together.

Should we, as Christians, join in a festival whose history and practices are for the dead?

When you’re young, you want to be the same as everyone else. You want to fit in. As an adult, you know that Christians live in contrast to the world’s ways of living. Christians are light in the darkness, pilgrims not of this world, called to “come out from among unbelievers.” (2 Cor. 6:17)
