What version of Halloween did Jesus celebrate?

[purplepoppy]

There's been different versions throughout history and the world so which one did JC celebrate?

[buzzword]

Catholic ritual celebrates All Hallows Eve (All Saints Eve), All Saints Day, and All Souls Day (Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead) not Halloween. The course of ritual runs October 31 - November 2. Lost loved ones are honored and prayers are made for those still trapped in purgatory. That series of Catholic holidays goes back tot he 9th century A. D. and thus was not celebrated by Jesus. Most catholic holidays honor saints and revolve around prayer. Trick or Treating goes back to Catholics saying prayers for people's lost loved ones and then being rewarded with a soul cake for their good deeds.

Claims are made by pagans that Halloween is the Celtic festival of Samhain, but the entire principle of Samhain is that it's the end of summer and the shift from the light to the dark of winter, so the autumnal equinox which occurs somewhere between September 21-24 makes the most sense for that holiday based on it's core meaning. At the equinox day length is equal, but as you pass it darkness takes over into the winter months. So really it's just a big ruse by anti-Christians that don't even know the roots of their own pagan holidays. Basically the pagan holiday was eliminated and the Celts shifted their celebration to All Saints Days carrying over some of their old traditions like dressing in costumes which blended with the Christian rituals to make an amalgamation that turned into a commercialized event.

He liked to put skeletons with jack o'lantern heads hanging on crosses in his yard. He would dress up like a centurion and go from house to house demanding sweet treats from the frightened homeowners. They gave him everything they had because they had never heard of Halloween. "Here, take all my money." "Take my daughter." And Jesus would laugh and laugh. He had a great sense of humor.

Halloween is Celtic day of Samhain where world of the death and living ones are connected together, similar custom is present in Slavic cultures called Dzedi or Dziady [forefathers]. It seems Germanic tribes didn't celebrate 31.10.
Unless dad of JC wasn't a Celtic or Slavic legionary who lived a while with his mother, it's unlikely he celebrated Halloween or the former version of it.

I am not sure Jesus had celebrations beyond those of his religion, his community events such as weddings or births, or natural nature celebrations such as food harvests etc... I also think that God allows us to celebrate holidays but does not dock your blessings or nullify your inclusion in his kingdom if you do not celebrate any holiday.

That would be the version where there is a Wicker Man on top of a pile of wood with people dressed as Druids, in KKK masks, dancing around it.

I believe there is just a Guy in the wicker man nowadays - not real people - as a token fire sacrifice to Satan. Mostly because of police action in 1973.

We can be confident JC thrust the burning brand into the faggots at the climatic end of the fevered dancing.

The one where you'd do magic tricks and hang around for a bit.

[Agape93]

[Passerby2]

what was he doing alone with the woman at the well? I wonder if he was being tempted by the devil

[mandyfire98]

Hopefully turning all that well water into wine.

[WhiteSteve]

“Nailed” it

[mandyfire98]

Boom!!! That's what I was looking for!!!

[Passerby2]

jesus needed sluts around to forgive and get respect for it

[WhiteSteve]

This just gave me the weirdest mental image of Jesus in a devil costume

Probably whatever fall harvest festival Jewish people celebrated at the time.

[electromagnetic]

I don’t think Jesus celebrated Halloween. What an irony that would be.

[WhitneySnow]

Probably none. Jesus was a Jew and I don’t think Jewish tradition celebrated Halloween.

[nawtee_me]

He would not have since at that time celebrating the dead would have been against his belief.

[Amur8711]

He didn't, not his culture and pretty sure Halloween came long after his time.

[Anonymous]

Halloween was celebrated long before Jesus, but only in Europe, by the Celtic people.

[robocop666]

well he was not alive for the current one. I like the US style of trick or treat the best.

[RageBabe]

He did not celebrate Halloween.

[AviatorTom]

I don't think Halloween existed yet.

[Kelly6]
