How should Christians approach Halloween and is there a biblical way to observe this secular holiday? See this controversial question, “Should Christians observe Halloween?” With no direct references to Halloween in the Bible, resolving the debate can be a challenge.

Christian perspectives on the observance of Halloween are strongly divided. Some believers feel complete freedom to observe the holiday, others run and hide from it, many boycott or ignore it, a number celebrate it through more positive and imaginative observances or Christian alternatives to Halloween, and still others choose to take advantage of Halloween’s evangelistic opportunities.

Some of today’s popular celebrations associated with Halloween have pagan roots stemming from the ancient Celtic festival, Samhain. This harvest festival of the Druids ushered in the New Year, beginning on the evening of October 31, with the lighting of bonfires and the offering of sacrifices. As the Druids danced around the fires, they celebrated the ending of the summer season and the beginning of the season of darkness. It was also believed that at this time of year the invisible “gates” between the natural world and the spirit world would open, allowing free movement between the two worlds.

During the 8th century in the diocese of Rome, Pope Gregory III moved All Saints Day to November 1, officially making October 31 “All Hallows Eve,” some say, as a way of claiming the celebration for Christians. However, this feast commemorating the martyrdom of the saints had already been celebrated by Christians for many centuries prior to this time. Pope Gregory IV broadened the feast to include the entire Church. Inevitably, some of the pagan practices associated with the season persisted and have been mixed into modern celebrations of Halloween.

What does the Bible say about Halloween?

Deu 18:10-11 Don’t you dare sacrifice your son or daughter in the fire. Don’t practice divination, sorcery, fortunetelling, witchery, casting spells, holding seances, or channeling with the dead.

1Co 10:21-22 And you can’t have it both ways, banqueting with the Master one day and slumming with demons the next. Besides, the Master won’t put up with it. He wants us–all or nothing. Do you think you can get off with anything less?

2Ki 21:5-6 And he built shrines to the cosmic powers and placed them in both courtyards of The Temple of GOD. He burned his own son in a sacrificial offering. He practiced black magic and fortunetelling. He held seances and consulted spirits from the underworld. Much evil–in GOD’s judgment, a career in evil. And GOD was angry.

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Are you a True follower of Jesus Christ? Then Skip Halloween this year and tell others to do likewise!

Should Christians celebrate Halloween?

In the fourth century, Christians attempted to co-opt the holiday by celebrating the lives of faithful Christian saints the day before Halloween. This was a conscious attempt to provide an alternative and re-focus the day away from ghouls, goblins, ghosts, witches and other “haunted” experiences. Since that time many Christians have decided to allow their children to dress in more “innocent” costumes of pumpkins, princesses, Superman or as a cowboy. Part of this is due to the simple reality that in today’s Western culture it is nearly impossible to “avoid” Halloween.

Halloween is not for Christians. Honor God instead by refusing to observe Halloween this year.

When faced with something you have never done before, you may have thought, Am I able to do this? Do I have the ability? It’s natural that you think so. But the truth is: You are more able than you think!

You are created with a set of unique abilities and potential. Whether you feel like that or not, that’s the truth. Every talent you have is precious and priceless.

Do you know that there is no one like you in this whole wide world? God has designed you as an original and He hasn’t made any photocopy!

Check this out: “Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation!” (Psalm 139:13,14 – Message Bible)

Psychologists say that a normal person uses only 25 percent of his brain’s ability. It’s just like someone receiving a gift of 10,000 rupees and spending only 2,500! You have more potential than you have ever used. You are more capable than what your experiences tell you.

There are people who have achieved great things. It happened not because they have super-brains. They simply put their abilities to use! They daily worked on their potential and as time went on, they started seeing tremendous results.

Do you doubt your ability about something you face today? Here’s the good news – you can do it! Ask God for His favor and strength. Launch out boldly. Don’t allow fear to stop you. Have confidence in the One who created you. Have confidence in His abilities that He put in you.

You are destined to be a winner! Apply your priceless potential and experience marvelous results!
