Priests...
They just say it because they want to keep it withing themselves.
It's their job to do those "trick or treat" things all life...You know...
"If you don't do this, you go straight to hell and you cannot pass through heaven."

Nickman...
Isn't what some of those "priests" do?
You know walk from door to door to join the church of something...You know the Jehova guys...
But ordinary priests don't do that of course. They are waiting in their own "houses" and people go there (every sunday) to here their "trick or treat" preaching...

I think Sha used an allegory and very successfully, BTW. Bravo, sha. No, Nick, it's not about going to knock on people's doors. It's about others knocking on their doors.

I would appreciated it if you didn't put salt in my painful wounds. I'm not going to bend because of people's idiocy and I'm as personal now and a frog catching his dinner.

Halloween means the evening before All Hallows or All Saints' Day, which is Nov. 1. All Saints' Day is observed by Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans, to honor all the saints in Heaven, whether known or unknown. The day also used to be called Hallowmass from Old English word hallow, meaning sanctify. In the Roman Catholic Church, it is, with all solemnity, considered one of the most important observances of the church year. It is a day on which all Catholics are obliged to attend Mass. It is preceded by a vigil of preparation on the evening of Oct.31. And it is this vigil, All Hallows' Eve or Halloween, that is the most widely known feature of the observance.
However, Halloween is really of DRUIDIC origin. Most of the customs connected with the day are remnants of ancient "religious" beliefs and celebrations of the New Year, first of the Druids and then of the Romans who conquered them. For the Celtic tribes who followed the religion of the Druids and lived in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Britan, Nov. 1 was New Years Day. It was also a joint festival honoring their Sun "god" and "Samhain", the lord of the dead.
It was the Druid's belief that on the eve of this festival, Saman called together the wicked souls that within the past 12 months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals. They were released in the form of ghosts, spirits, witches or elves. Halloween is a rite with pagan, demonic roots. The Celtic people who lived over 2,000 years ago, feared the evening of October 31st more than any other day of the year. It was the eve of the Lord of the Dead. To celebrate, the people built bonfires, wore masks and costumes in order to prepare for the arrival of spirits. Fire rituals and divination were part of their celebration. Pagan priests even offered human and animal sacrifices.
The American celebration rests upon Scottish and Irish folk customs which can be traced, in a direct line, from pre-Christian time. Although Halloween has become a night of celebration to many, its beginnings were otherwise. The earliest Halloween celebrations were held by the Druids in honor of Saman, lord of the dead, whose festival fell on November 1.
On a sidenote, I suggest that those of you who do not necessarily completely know what you're talking about, not to try and look like you do.
