Back in the day, when the Roman Catholic Church ruled the "world" - or most of it, today was dedicated as a memory day of all of those whom have been martyred for the faith.
This matched well with the pagan holiday around the death of life - the coming of winter.
So all Hallowed's Eve or Halloween was born.
The celebration of the saints eventually forgotten.
Thus today, most do not even understand there IS a price you will pay for being a Christian and following in Jesus' footsteps.
But bring on the witches and goblins!
It is only about getting candy right?
Saturday was my little town's trick or treat in the downtown district.
Zillions of children running around!
I had to run to the post office, so got drive REAL carefully!
No one was watching for cars!
One little girl, about 3, was walking along with mothef.
The three year old was dressed as a yellow fairy.
When she saw a table in front of a shop loaded with candy,
She squealed, "YYYYYYYEEEEEEEsssssssss!!!!!!"
And flew to the table on her ballet slipper toes.
You would have sworn those gossamer wings had carried her!
Lots of people were laughing at this spectacle.
But, as for my neighborhood - no trick-or-treat'ers.
So I am looking at some 800 pieces of candy.
Whatever will I do with it?
