I came across this great little article the other day about our Christian response to Halloween. I admit, as a parent it is hard not to get excited for my girls who want to dress up like a fairy or princess or, in this year’s case, a bride (AHHHHH!!!). But I have struggled with how to keep their mind “set apart” from the norm in the celebration of this “holiday.”
Steve Russo, the author of “Halloween” gives a nice little history of the holiday as well as some suggestions for a Christian’s response to the day. Have a look:
