In Russia, kids don’t go trick-or-treating but there are Halloween themed parties held at night clubs. So, mostly young adults celebrate.

Actually Halloween is based on the old Celtic festival of Samhain which means summer’s end and marks the end of the Celtic year.

It is a time for winter preparation when surplus animals were slaughtered and preparations made for the long winter nights and the dead season when the land sleeps. Because it is a time of transition, going from light to dark, it is also the time when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin and one can communicate with the other.

After the Celtic world became Christianised, all the pagan festivals were replaced with Christian ones so Samhain became All Hallows, (1st November) and All Hallows Eve (Halloween), 31st October.

When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, Halloween was rarely celebrated in the UK but has grown very popular during the last twenty or thirty years. Few really understand its origins and any mischief afoot usually originates from the consumerism that surrounds it rather than anything of a supernatural nature which is true of most of the ills in the world. Man having the happy ability to shift the blame for his actions onto the devils and demons of the underworld!

Holloween is a pagan celebration. The celebration of the dead. Even in Orthodoxism, there is this day called “Saturday of the dead”.

But while ones party honoring the devilish creatures (because that’s what they do-like fun they say! sheep brainless people!), others, the real worshipers of this day kill. KILL 4 REAL!. They bring human sacrifices to the devil.

Just check how many children dissapear around this period. They are sacrificed. Mostly blue eyed children, faired haired.

I was to be kidnapped once. I’m from Romania. I’m blue eyed and fair haired. I remember as if it was now. I was around 5y.o. I was crossing the street with my little brother. There was this tall, completely white haired old man who caught my arm and wouldn’t let go. He would’t speak at all. I was to small to understand, to react as one should. But I was lucky. The taxi drivers saw something wrong. It took 4 of them to free me. This “old” man was so powerfull!!!!! He was just waiting for a car to pass by and take me away, to sacrifice me!

But God helped me! The old men escaped the drivers, and he ran. He ran like a young boy, told my mother one neighbour’s wife who also saw the entire scene.

Be carefull what you choose to celebrate! You might celebrate the death of innocent children!

I was born on 31st Oct and in my country we didn’t celebrate Halloween.
i don’t know what makes some of the countries in the world celebrate 31st Oct as a HALLOWEEN day.. i think it just bring a bad name to the day. i hate my day of birth it seems bring a bad luck for me. seriously i never celebrate my birthday more than 2 times. i just don’t know why every time the day comes, i get a lot of trouble.. out of nothing i suddenly involved with something that is not my concern. i asked for friends opinion but all i get is a irrelevant answers like ‘because u were born in a ghost day..’ blurred..
