It's Halloween week.
And every year, I get asked: "You're a Christian - do you celebrate Halloween?"
Yes. Yes, I do.
Halloween = All Hallows' Eve. "Hallows" means saints. It's the eve of All Saints' Day - a day to remember the faithful who came before us.
The roots are Christian. The costumes and pumpkins came later.
Here's what my family does:
We pick a Bible story and cosplay it.
