Halloween's Christian History
In Scripture, the word hallow is a synonym for the word sanctify. When we hallow or sanctify something, we set it apart as being holy. The name of God is not the only thing that we are to hallow. We too are to be hallowed. 2 Timothy 2:21.
We can be hallow today, and every day, by setting ourselves apart for God to be used by Him.
Halloween, a popular holiday, comes from All Hallow's Eve, an early Christian holy day, and has Christian roots in a celebration to honor the saints, living and dead.
Today’s popular Halloween holiday takes it’s name from All Hallow’s Eve, the vigil of the Feast of All Hallows, known today as All Saints' Day. A series of decisions by Catholic popes in the early and late Middle Ages gave Halloween the name and date familiar today.
What is All Hallow’s Eve
All Hallow’s Eve literally means the eve, or day before, all hallows, or holy ones. The Lord’s Prayer, used by many Christians, contains the phrase: “hallowed be Thy name.” Medieval Christians hallowed, or honored, not only God, but also all the saints who worked for God’s work in the world and glorifed the Church with their prayers and service. For centuries, Christians celebrated the eve before a major feast or holiday, also known as a vigil, with prayers, candles, and offerings to the saints. All Hallow’s Eve was the vigil for Hallowmas during that time: Hallowmas, also known as All Hallows, is literally translated as “Mass of the Holy Ones.” All Hallows is known and celebrated as All Saints Day today by Roman Catholics and of Protestants.
