the masquerade called 'Halloween' is no longer news! It was about time!

Halloween is no longer news. As a matter of fact, even in Italy. As if there ever was. Instead, it appears, at least as a cultural phenomenon, not more than seven years ago. But no one asks why more cobwebs, skulls and pumpkins invade the windows of all kinds of shops at the end of October. "Basically it's just a harmless party" is the answer we give acquiescent.


should be promoted, first, a series of proactive and positive attitudes that mean for the Christian witness even before the challenge. A first step is knowledge and information to live consciously these true signs of the times. The sudden imposition of a mass phenomenon as Halloween can not pass under the attention of all as if nothing had happened, unless it has been mired in resignation.

Here the role of parents is irreplaceable: as teachers or catechists can help them, it is their responsibility to accompany their children to a gradual awareness of peace, but naked, with the mystery of death. One way is certainly visiting their loved ones to the cemetery , telling their lives to the children if they have not been known, perhaps with the help of their photographs. Teach us to pray for the dead with quiet confidence is the best way to develop a Christian vision of the afterlife, life, felt, integrated at the level of affection. To encourage Finally, children's relationship with the elderly and grandparents in a special way.
