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.
