October 31 is a very important day in the Lutheran Church. Known as Reformation Day, it is the day that Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg church, challenging the Roman church practice of indulgences. It occurs the day before All Saints Day when we remember all the saints and martyrs that have gone before us.
Reformation Day is also the day many celebrate Halloween. In Luther’s day, people carved out gourds with ugly faces and dressed up in costumes and masks. Many today do the same thing, but for very different reasons. Should we, as Christians, join in the celebration? Read this short article to help you decide if, or to what degree, you should celebrate Halloween.
“Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.”
(Hebrews 13:7)
