26. Can Christians Celebrate Halloween? : Debunking Myths...

What this episode covers

There’s a lot of misconceptions about Halloween, and I’m here to put them to rest. In this episode of Alexandra's Alley, I explain the origins of Halloween and what it really means. The holiday is not actually pagan like many have come to believe through incorrect narratives being pushed. The truth is, it is rooted in Catholicism and always has been. Trick or treating is not harmful and dressing up in innocent or silly costumes is not evil like some people make it out to be. I even share how I shifted my own mindset when it comes to Halloween and how I gave up things that are problematic. If you’re curious about Halloween and what it all means, listen to this episode and learn something new. Have a safe, happy, and holy Halloween! :) #Jesus #God #HolySpirit #Halloween #AllSoulsDay #AllSaintsDay #Catholic #Saints #Faith #Religion #CatholicChurch #Catholicism #like #share #save #subscribe #podcast #stream Sources:Ana’s video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPFTV8BDZYj/?igsh=MXJ6ZHM4d3pwcjV4MA==Fr.
