While the internet can and will find a way to make even the simplest of things debate-worthy, there are a few days each year that stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of how much contention and division they are capable of stirring up. Halloween is one of them. The debate over whether it is appropriate and moral for Christians and Catholics to participate resurfaces every year during the month of October, overshadowing the joy of the changing seasons and causing even more stress to the mothers spending hours making intricate costumes come to life that run the risk of being rejected the morning of. Amidst the narrative that it is simply a pagan holiday that serves to expose participants to the demonic, it is good to recall that Halloween's history is deeply connected to the Church’s liturgical calendar, and even iconic practices such as trick-or-treating and jack-o'lanterns find their roots in Catholic rituals.
