Reclaiming Halloween

For many, many people, Halloween remains a celebratory time which children and families look forward to each year.
Halloween has become a major cultural event for families each year. An estimated 157 million Americans will celebrate the holiday, spending on $7 billion in the process!
Once upon a time, folks knew that Halloween was connected to All Saints Day (like Christmas Eve to Christmas Day). Alas, that is not recognized so much today.
Halloween begs to be reclaimed by people of faith. I have assembled a small collection of resources to help stimulate thinking about a more appropriate and faithful celebration of the holiday.
I invite you to check it out and share with others: http://www.newcelebrations.com/allsaintsday.html
