Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as All Saints' Day and incorporated traditions such as dressing as ghosts. Over time, Halloween evolved into a holiday with activities like trick-or-treating. Ancient Gaels believed that on October 31st, the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and spirits would cause havoc. Masks and costumes were worn to mimic evil spirits so they would think people were one of them.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Happy halloween

2. What is Halloween?
Halloween is a yearly celebration in
many countries on October 31st.
It is also called All Hallows Eve, when
we remember the dead and the saints.
3. Origins
Straddling the line between fall and
winter, plenty and paucity, life and
death, Halloween is a time of celebration
and superstition. It is thought to have
originated with the ancient Celtic festival
of Samhain, when people would light
bonfires and wear costumes to ward off
roaming ghosts.
4. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III
designated November 1 as a time to honor all
saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’
Day, incorporated some of the traditions of
Samhain, such as to dress up as scary
ghosts, ghouls, make jack o’lanterns and
make bonfires
The evening before was known as All
Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween.
5. Over time, Halloween evolved into a
family holliday with fun activities such
as trick-or-treating.
In a number of countries around the
world, as the days grow shorter and the
nights get colder, people continue to
usher in the winter season with
gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.
6. What is Samhain?
The festival of Samhain is a celebration of
the end of the harvest season in Gaelic
culture. Samhain was a time used by the
ancient pagans to take stock of supplies
and prepare for winter.
The ancient Gaels believed that on
October 31, the boundaries between the
worlds of the living and the dead
overlapped and the deceased would come
back to life and cause havoc such as
sickness or damaged crops.
7. Why do we wear masks?
Masks and costumes were worn in
an attempt to mimic the evil spirits so
they would belive we are one of them.
8. Halloween Superstitions
Halloween has always been a holiday filled
with mystery, magic and superstition.
It began as a Celtic end-of-summer
festival during which people felt especially
close to deceased relatives and friends.
For these friendly spirits, they set places at
the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps
and along the side of the road and lit
candles to help loved ones find their way
back to the spirit world.
9.
Today's Halloween ghosts are often
depicted as more fearsome and
malevolent, and our customs and
superstitions are scarier too. We avoid
crossing paths with black cats, afraid
that they might bring us bad luck.
And around Halloween,
especially, we try to
avoid breaking mirrors,
stepping on cracks in the
road or spilling salt.
