Friday, 10/30

Happy All Soul's Day, or All Saint's Day... (on Monday). Historically, this is a Christian Feast day honoring those who have "fallen asleep." 'Halloween' came from "All Hallow's" or "All Soul's Eve," a night of vigil and prayer before All Soul's Day. A mix of devotion an superstition has led to our modern celebration of Halloween. Here is an Edgar Allen Poe poem to get you in the mood: Spirits of the Dead

In Mark's Gospel, Jesus affirms that the dead will rise, because the Old Testament refers to God as the God of guys who have died--"Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Therefore: He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living (Mark 12.27).
