October 22, 2023 | Halloween: Devil's Birthday or All Saints' Eve?

Ever wondered why Halloween is often linked with devilish imagery and how it's evolved over time? This episode unveils the real essence of Halloween and its religious roots. We question long-standing assumptions, including the notion that Halloween represents the 'devil's birthday'. In place of that, we shed light on its origins as the eve of All Saints Day and how its representation has been distorted over time.************Father Don Wolf is a priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
