All Saints' Day

This image depicts the Biblical promise to the Church:
"God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet,"
which is one of the celebratory purposes of Halloween.

Happy All Saints' Day! Yesterday was "All Hallows Eve" (the day before All Saint's Day). It is essential to remember that Halloween was and still ought to be a Christian "holy-day." The problem is that we have let the World redefine it;  because the Church has lost its voice, lost its love of the calendar, lost its militant power, we have forgotten the true significance of many such holidays. We are supposed to worship in spirit and in truth; we must, therefore, return once more to the true meaning of things. Remember, any calendar and the significance of its events shows the cultus of a culture, that is, the thing that binds a culture together in worship. The Christian calendar saw fit that it should tell a story, the story of the life, death, resurrection of Christ. Today is All Saint's Day, the last day on the Church Calendar, where we celebrate the final victory of Christ over the devil through his saints.
