"NO to halloween celebration - Having fun should not be an excuse!"

Halloween is rooted in disgusting, gory practices of the druids. Rituals were performed by offering human sacrifices to their over 300 gods to placate them. The druid priests would go from door to door to get crops, animals, preferably young people to be sacrificed. "Trick or treat" refers to the punishment or gift given by the druids to the families that did not give away or agreed to surrender the requested offers to be piled up with timber and set afire in the open air bonfire. The bigger the sacrifice the higher favour from the gods they thought would be reached. The barbarous practice of burning humans was stopped in 1600. Many people in the USA and Britain do not see any reason to celebrate or remind the day with any practice, some openly oppose this celebration and do not allow their children to partake in mean scares, nor watch horror movies or dress in gruesome, grotesque costumes. There have been cases of violence that led to very sad happenings, including the death of children by other children in their playing around witches, demons and scary monsters while trying out psychic, paranormal abilities.

Amazing Grace Lyrics

John Newton (1725-1807)
Stanza 6  anon.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.


 The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.



When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
