Is it Okay for Christians to Celebrate Halloween?

Is it okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween? In this video we look at Scripture, history, conscience, and practical wisdom to help families decide with clarity and peace. We cover the origins of Halloween/All Hallows’ Eve, what the Bible forbids (occult/witchcraft), why sincere Christians disagree, and how to engage neighbors with light and love—whether you participate, redeem, or abstain.
