The Feast of all Saints is a celebration often misunderstood due to the fun, secular focus on Halloween and the overemphasis of death on All Souls Day. The Feast of all Saints gets lost in the mix, and so to understand All Saints we must see it in context relative to Halloween and All Souls. Halloween is easy to understand since its very name tells us the truth---despite the revisionist historians who seek to attack and deny the truth. Many pagan and Christian cultures in various locations celebrated Halloween with traditions of scaring away spirits. All these customs were considered a beginning celebration of All Saints which had the name of “Hallow Day” or the holy day. “Halloween”, in old English, simply is the vigil (or the eve) of All Saints, called the day of the “Hallowmas”. People would attempt to scare away or clean the village of evil in preparation for the day when the sacred mass would be celebrated. As time went on, Halloween developed---in the United States---into a celebration for children like Mardi Gras is for adults in Louisiana. Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is simply the celebration the night before Ash Wednesday which begins the discipline of Lent. Unfortunately, Mardi Gras has become a celebration of sin rather than a feasting before the season of Lent. Unless we develop a silly superstitious mindset for Halloween, it simply remains for us a fun evening for children to dress up---preferably as saints---and eat candy as a vigil preparation for the recognized holy saints of the church. Halloween is a spiritual sign post directing us to the Feast of All Saints. All Saints provides us with a celebration of our ancestors who have shown us the Glory of God. The Feast of All Saints is a time for us to recognize that throughout History God has truly sent the Holy Spirit into the world to motivate us and inspire us to work and love like Christ. We are reminded that the Spirit is here with us just as the Spirit was with those before us. We are to open ourselves in this celebration to the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us so that we may have the strength and courage to be the saints of our age like those who have been. This feast shows us and reminds us of our history where the saints have done great works for the Kingdom of God, and it is meant to inspires us to seek God’s glory in this age just as enthusiastically as Christians before us. All Souls continues the celebration of All Saints by celebrating all the faithful departed. The Church in Her wisdom rightfully points out the saintly heroes of our past, but she also does not forget the rest of us. The celebration of All Souls is about recognizing the people who worked to build up the Kingdom of God throughout the world in everyday life through family, business, or charity. These people are all those who gave their time, talent, and treasure locally and quietly because they believed in Jesus Christ. They have not developed a new theology, nor have they founded a new religious order; when they died, they died for Christ. Their deaths were just as saintly as any martyr who was put to the sword. Enjoy these celebrations of death, but keep them in context and understand that death is nothing to fear, but rather something to enjoy, celebrate, and make fun of. We fear death because we are unsure of it, but through our knowledge of faith we understand that we live in a world filled with deceptions. Crossing over death to the life to come is sweet and divine. Death is our chance to join with all the saints and heavenly hosts because we are loved by God and we love God.

Fiesta de Todos los Santos

La Solemnidad de Todos los Santos es una observación frecuentemente malentendida debido al enfoque secular en las celebraciones del Halloween y el gran énfasis en la muerte al día siguiente para el Día de los Muertos. La observación de Todos los Santos se pierde entre estas, así que para comprenderla, debemos verla en su contexto relativo al Halloween y al día de Todos los Fieles Difuntos El Halloween es la víspera de Todos los Santos, y es fácil de entender porque su mismo nombre nos dice lo que es, a pesar de los historiadores revisionistas que quieren atacar y negar la verdad. Es verdad que muchas culturas paganas y cristianas en varios lugares celebraban esta víspera con tradiciones de ahuyentar a los malos espíritus. Pero en realidad, estas costumbres se consideraban el comienzo de la celebración de Todos los Santos que llevaba el nombre de “Día Santificado” o un día santo. En el inglés antiguo, “Halloween” es simplemente la víspera de Todos los Santos o el día de “Hallowmas”. La gente intentaba ahuyentar el mal de las aldeas o purificarlas en preparativo para el día en el cual se celebraría la sagrada misa. Al pasar el tiempo, se desarrolló el Halloween en los Estados Unidos como una celebración para niños así como el Mardi Gras es para los adultos en Luisiana. Mardi Gras, o Martes Gordo, es simplemente la celebración de la víspera del Miércoles de Ceniza cuando comienza la disciplina de la Cuaresma. Desafortunadamente el Mardi Gras se ha convertido en una celebración del pecado en lugar de un banquete antes de la Cuaresma. Al menos que tengamos unas supersticiones absurdas para el Halloween, es simplemente una noche divertida para que los niños se disfracen, preferentemente de santos, y coman dulces para prepararse para reconocer a los santos de la iglesia. El Halloween es un señalamiento espiritual que nos dirige a la Solemnidad de Todos los Santos. La Fiesta de Todos los Santos nos permite celebrar con nuestros antepasados que nos han mostrado la Gloria de Dios. Esta fiesta es un tiempo para reconocer que a través de la historia Dios realmente ha enviado al Espíritu Santo al mundo para motivarnos e inspirarnos a obrar y amar como Cristo. Nos recuerda que el Espíritu está con nosotros así como estuvo con los que vinieron antes. Debemos de abrirnos a esta celebración al Espíritu Santo que nos santifica para que tengamos la fuerza y el valor de ser los santos de nuestra época como los que lo han sido en sus épocas. Esta solemnidad nos muestra y recuerda las grandes obras que los Santos hicieron para el Reino de Dios, y sirve para inspirarnos a buscar la Gloria divina en esta época con el mismo entusiasmo que los cristianos de otras épocas. La Conmemoración de Todos los Fieles Difuntos continúa la celebración de Todos los Santos conmemorando a todos los fieles que han fallecido. La Iglesia, en su gran sabiduría, nos indica con justa razón los héroes santos de nuestro pasado, pero no se olvida del resto de nosotros. La conmemoración de los Fieles Difuntos se trata de reconocer a toda la gente sencilla que ha trabajado para construir en todo el mundo el Reino de Dios usando su vida diaria a través de su familia, negocio, o caridad; la gente sencilla son todos aquellos que dieron de su tiempo, talento o tesoro en su comunidad y sin hacer escándalo porque creían en Jesucristo. Esta gente no ha desarrollado una teología nueva ni han fundado una orden religiosa, pero al morir, murieron por Cristo. Su muerte fue tan santa y dada por Cristo como la de cualquier mártir que murió bajo la espada. Diviértanse en estas celebraciones de la muerte, pero manténgalas bajo contexto y comprendan que la muerte no es algo que temer, sino algo que disfrutar, celebrar y del cual burlarse. Tememos a la muerte porque no sabemos cuándo viene, pero por nuestra fe comprendemos que – como el Halloween – vivimos en un mundo de falsedades estúpidas pero nuestro cruce de la muerte a la vida que ha de venir es algo dulce y divino. La muerte es nuestra oportunidad de reunirnos con todos los santos y los huestes celestiales porque Dios nos ama y amamos a Dios y lo expresamos cada día que vivimos en este mundo.
