Honoring Hallowe’en

Sat 10-31-20

Subj:      Honoring Hallowe’en

                 Since my piano teacher being exposed to COVID-19 (and me being exposed to her) has put the kibosh on my birthday plans this year, I thought I’d write. And since my birthday is Halloween, I thought I’d write about Halloween, or rather Hallowe’en as it was originally named as it is a contraction for its real meaning which is “All Hallows’ Eve” In Christian tradition All Hallows’ Day is the day that the saints come down to earth to take recently departed souls to heaven. Hallowe’en got started as a serious belief system that the eve of All Saints is the most dangerous day of the year for recently departed souls.
