All Saints Day
This historically Halloween is not a Christian holiday, and was started in the Catholic religion. We wouldn't use it as they do. Just don't connect it to Catholicism.
But since it's a continuation of Hallows Eve or Halloween, basically the day after Oct 31st, it could be used to educate your kids more about death & the gospel. And to teach/ remove the fear of death for those who are believers.
Human spirits and skeletons just represent humans those who have died and gone to their eternal destination.
However we celebrate Resurrection Day on [easter], so don't really need ASD but theres continuity. Just like at salvation (we die and are raised In Christ).
Oct 31 is also the official legitimately Reformation Day , and National Evangelism Day. So celebrate that.
Also All Saints Eve started the tradition of dressing up as the saints and martyrs that were executed for the crime of believing in Jesus Christ. The Reformers were true Christians whom RCC had arrested warrants put out on them, those eventually found were arrested, tortured and killed for wanting to teach people the truth about God, Jesus and the Gospel, & wanting the people to have a Bible in their own language (they could finally have a copy of to read, study and live by; which exposed RCC as a false religion too). RCC even dug up some of these men to have their bones burned because they hated truth and the true Jesus so much.
Also Oct 31 is more than most people understand. Far too many are deathly afraid of Satan and don't have the same or greater fear of God. They have misplaced fear over Oct 31 as they're not really educated about it (as they think they are).
Think out really well how you could use ASD to educate about death, the Gospel, eternal destinations, and about eternity.
If anything it further educates your kids of the true and biblical worldview.
Here is a video you can show your kids [and anyone] that day, of the Gospel clearly presented.
God bless
