Is Halloween really a pagan holiday—or is it deeply Christian? In this episode of What Catholics Believe, Dr. Ben Akers explains the Catholic roots of Halloween, its connection to All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, and how Catholics can celebrate it faithfully. Discover the history of trick-or-treating, the dangers of the occult, the meaning behind costumes, and even the Catholic perspective on vampires and zombies. Learn why Halloween is a time to reflect on death, rejoice in Christ’s victory over sin, and pray for the communion of saints—on earth, in purgatory, and in heaven.
