1. October 31st. Has long been known as
"The Festival of the Dead." The Celtic tribes
and their priests the Druids celebrated this
day as a marker for the change from life to
death.

2. Halloween today is performed usually by
adherents of witchcraft who use the night for
their rituals. Witches celebrate Halloween as
the "Feast of Samhain" the first feast of the
witchcraft year. Being a festival of the dead,
Halloween is a time when witches attempt to communicate with the dead through various
forms of divination.

3. Christians should not be involved with
occultic practice or divination. Note God's
command against divination in Deuteronomy
18.

4. Occultist believe Halloween is a time of
transition between life and death. Some
occult practitioners...believe in lying on the
grave and listening to the message from the
long departed.

5. Occultist also taught that spirits and
ghosts left the grave during this night and
would seek out warmth in their previous
homes. Villagers, fearful of the possibility of
being visited by the ghosts, would dress up in
costumes to scare the spirits on their way. They would also leave food and other
"treats" at their door to appease the spirits.

6. Occultists also would try to scare away
the spirits by carving a scary face into a
pumpkin. Sometimes the villagers would light
a candle and place it within the pumpkin and
use it as a lantern.

7. In some witchcraft covens, the closing
ritual includes eating an apple or engaging in
fertility rites.

8. Schools are removing any religious
significance from Christmas (Winter Break)
and Easter (Spring Break). Isn't it ironic
that most public schools still celebrate
Halloween even though it has occultic
origins?

9. Participating in Halloween gives sanction
to a holiday the promotes witches, divination,
haunted houses and other occultic practices.

10. Christians should not endorse or promote
Halloween in any way. "The night is nearly
over; the day is almost near. So let us put
aside the deeds of darkness and put on the
armour of light." Romans 13:12.

well, it's not traditionally celebrated in Nigeria or Africa, we have masquerades and other traditional ceremonies instead.

it's primarily a western thing, anyone observing it in Nigeria should observe something else since it (halloween) is not a one day thing in Africa but rather every other day.
